Enabling "new koji build" Taskotron checks on scratch builds

[Jeremy Cline]

Hi everyone,

I recently started maintaining the-new-hotness[0]. In case anyone isn't
familiar with it, it's responsible for filing bugs[1] when a new
release  is made upstream. One of its components, rebase-helper,
currently tries to run a set of tests on packages when upstream
releases a new version.

There are a lot of problems with this process and for the most part it
does not work. I started a discussion on the issue tracker about
removing rebase-helper[2] as a dependency. Kamil Páral mentioned that
there has been discussion about running the "new koji build" Taskotron
checks for scratch builds. This would be great for the-new-hotness since
it would do everything and more that rebase-helper currently does with
respect to testing.

How do people feel about this? Are there any obstacles?

Thanks!
