You can take RPMs from Fedora, copy them to some directory, run
createrepo_c on it, upload the resulting YUM repo somewhere (like
fedorapeople.org) and add repo link to extra repos in Copr.
Okay, that should work. But we should have a common infrastructure that
everyone who needs to build these things could build off of. This
just feels a bit too cobbled together to me. Of course, sometimes I
feel that way about this whole SCL thing in the first place.

That shouldn't be needed.
But it would provide this common base in a well respected repository.
