Perhaps new package requests could more often be handled in a way where

We have a serious problem here: non-packages can't upload sources to
Fedora SCM.
These pull requests require maintainers to do it manually in a separate
commit that breaks %autorelease+%autochangelog.
That's not exactly true. Yes, non-packagers can't upload files to the
lookaside cache, but they can update the 'sources' and '.gitignore' files
in git.
The easiest way to do that is with 'fedpkg new-sources --offline' which
then only does the local modifications that can be committed to git (and
submitted as a PR), but doesn't upload the files to the lookaside cache
servers.
Yes, we have both problems that make working with pull requests clumsy,
and slow progress like 'fedpkg sources --offline' that is making things
easier.
In any case, I did not mean that we could just go all-in with pull
requests now. I mean that we should try to improve things so that using
them becomes more and more convenient and effective.
