I would love to have distributions share common infrastructure but
realistically Fedora isn't really going to switch the entire build
system away from Koji anytime soon.  Buildsystem is obviously extremely
crucial for a distribution and moving away from ones that Fedora has
developed for years and have expertise to rely on to something new and
potentially problematic isn't a easy sell.   Blog links aren't enough.
You will have to make it available in Fedora and EPEL to be even
considered as a alternative. It is probably just easier to file a few
feature requests (preferably with patches) for Koji.
