Final statement, instead of wasting my time and energy on arguments,
Imagemagick7 could already be built on rawhide if someone had done the
package review for me

I understand the sentiment as another person who has donated 1000s of hours to packaging on Fedora, but the "default" package SHOULD be the current latest package. It' just part of "Fedora First". 

You are wrong , the default packaging for gtk was gtk+, gtk2 , gtk3, gtk4 . For wxGTK was wxGTK, wxGTK3 . For Python was python , python3 , and you have much more examples that I can remember now 

The ImageMagick 6 series is officially supported until December of 2027.

ImageMagick was not maintained well since about 2018 , Redhat drop it on el8 and was moved epel because in short and in my humble interpretation,  gives much work to maintain and have many so bumps  ( https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4437561  ) 

So my vote (as much as it matters) is that all packages should be built with the latest version in COPR to verify compatibility, and the ones that don't, build with an ImageMagik 6 compat package. 

Thanks,

Richard
