Regardless of the mailing list's autoresponder message saying it might
be approved my experience is that if you get that message then that
message will be silently discarded without review. :-(

Yes. That is a problem. I see that too.

I think this is a limitation of rpm. I don't think it supports doing
what you (and me) want it to do in that case. I think the only choice
you have is to build the rpm on the target os you are trying to
install upon. There is a 'noarch' rpm but there is no 'noos' rpm. (I
would love it if someone were able to educate us differently because
this is a feature I would love to have too.)
I think you will need to give up and build all of your noarch rpms on
all of the platforms for which you intend to install them.
