Sorry it's going slower than you would like. ;(
...snip all the stuff I agree with from smooge...
Let's look at blocking issues for Atomic in Fedora:

I think the plan here was to get a koji plugin?
Mathieu Bridon wrote a koji plugin for us to do mashes in.
We also know of another more generic plugin that lets you do 'commands
in a chroot' type of things, but it's not clear on it's licensing.
Perhaps we can see if Mathieu can rework the koji plugin as a 'run
commands' type of thing and we can use it for atomic and also for
rawhide/branched?
I'm not sure there's a way to do this in the mean time, I guess we
could spin up another compose host have it it just run from cron...

We can setup something with
dl.fedoraproject.org now... and adjust as
we go?

Most of the above are also in grumpy areas of infrastructure where
adding a person to fix it means they will need to learn a lot of
other things before it works well or doesn't snag up something else.
It would be good to add a person, but don't expect an instant win but
more instant pain in doing so.
Yeah. Of course adding people to these areas could also be a long term
win, as then we have more people who know them. But it's not a magic
fix.
