I use quilt but it's not really integrated.

fedpkg clone PACKAGE
cd PACKAGE
fedpkg sources PACkAGE
quilt setup PACKAGE.spec
# Do whatever work is necessary via quilt in the tarball directory.
# If new patches were generated, add them to the spec file manually
fedpkg srpm
fedpkg scratch-build PACKAGE*srpm
