I would say that the current way is OK, the bot asks fedora-scm- requests admins to validate the requests, because it is marked as exception. After being validated it gets created.
Or if there should be an exception for Rust packages, we can add name validation and if the name of the package is rust something, we can skip the validation process. But this unfortunately let people create any repository with name rust with exception set to true without any validation and I'm not sure if we want this.
I don't think there should be any special-casing of Rust packages. The same guidelines for compat packages apply to them as to any other package, so I don't see why they should be processed differently (i.e. without human validation).
One half-way solution might be to allow different operators to approve certain requests -- e.g. if for rust-*[NUM] requests with exceptions, @rust-sig members also get pinged and can approve such requests.
