It's run by rel-eng, it's an admin only koji command, it also depends
on a number of other RCM processes like package signing, so can't be
run by anyone.

The koji backend process is done using imagefactory, I'm not sure if
the process to create any specific Fedora cloud images is documented
anywhere, maybe search the list archives, in particular but the
upstream imagefactory docs aren't bad and the process is fairly
straight forward. If you wish to reproduce the nightly builds locally
the needed .ks and .xml are provided in the koji tasks and you could
run something like:

imagefactory --debug base_image --parameter generate_icicle false
tdl-ppc64le.xml --file-parameter install_script f22-rc3-base.ks
