Comment:
One of the big benefits of dist-git and fedpkg is so that you can do your work while being entirely offline. adding checkking into fedpkg breaks its ability to work networkless for doing development work or it means you have to add a manually created list that needs frequent updating and is easy to circumvent.
Adding something on the server would mean much greater complexity in the acl system and add another manual step at release EOL.
I really do not see the benefit of implementing any of this, we remove the ability to build for EOL releases in koji, the commits cause no actual harm.
As it is I and I suspect most developers mostly use git and not fedpkg to do commits and change branches etc, so adding checks to fedpkg gets us very little.
