I'm against COPRing GNOME 3.12 due to the maintenance burden it will
create, and the lack of QA stages (updates-testing) in COPR.
If we COPR gnome 3.12, and then have to issue a minor update to it, that
update will not undergo the usual fedora QA procedure of having to wait a
week on testing or get 3 positive votes to  be delivered to users.

Also, COPR is now a verb.
