How can I list all packages which have a *build* requirement on

Thus, repoquery won't help. The only option I am aware of would be to
download all SPEC files and search for build requirements manually. Any
other ideas? If not, is there a central repository of all SPEC files?
The use case is that I would like to find out which package depends on
package foo. The "normal" / runtime dependencies, i.e.,
Requires: foo
can be queried via repoquery. However, it is unclear to me how to list
packages which have a build requirement, i.e.,
BuildRequires: foo
on package foo.
If you enable the '-source' repositories, you'll be able to
do this with `dnf repoquery`. Something like this, I
believe:
dnf repoquery --disablerepo '*' --enablerepo '*-source' --alldeps
--whatrequires foo
(You may want to be more selective in which source repos you
enable, of course.)
