This didn't make a lot of sense to me until we spoke in person earlier
today.
The bit I was missing was that there's a chance that Pagure could be
enhanced to have a workflow which covers multiple repos with the same
PR which would solve some of the concerns I have.
I think the idea is to find a way to link multiple PRs together (something as
simple as using: Requires <url to PR> in the commit message for example), rather
than figuring out how to do 1 PR against multiple repos (which in the case of
dist-git practically do not overlap in anyway).

I thought that PRs were the main solution to allowing contributions
from people who aren't already packagers. Has this changed or is the
implementation of non-packager PRs still pending?
The situation is the latter. There is a will to allow PRs from non-packagers and
the infrastructure team discussed it last week again, but this hasn't been
implemented yet.
