Had no bugzillas because it failed to build even the SRPM.
I've opened one quite recently:

Has no bugzillas, the mass rebuilds builds never finished (they hang for days)
It'd be sad to lose radamsa from the distro. I pushed a snapshot build.

Fails to install, fails to build since Fedora 32, was exempted from
this policy last time with a promise of a fix.
Has many bugzillas

This might not actually be a FTBFS, but simply a package that has
not been built in 1.5 years.
It has a noautobuild file with:
> it's a couple of bash scripts, no need for rebuilds
I tend to disagree with that statement. The rebuilds are useful for:
- new possible dependency generators
- new possible buildroot policy scripts
- new RPM/buildsystem features (compression, content signatures, etc.)
I think it's worth rebuilding it at least once in a year.
It's a case of "save a little bit of work for the machine by
generating more work for the humans" ;)
Yeah, a bad trade-off.
