It does have a web interface. Try http://koji.fedoraproject.org. Do
you mean you can't do what you want with the web interface?

Well the fact you can't run Fedora on that machine is all well and
good, buy another machine you can. We cater for users of Fedora not
Windows.

Fedora has always been for Fedora. We have packaging standards that
are all a lot different than most other rpm distros and while it might
be nice that OBS allows you to do packaging for multiple distros
Fedora has never and will never care about other distros. koji does
what koji does because it's Fedora. We don't pander to other distros
in the hope that someone might just package something for Fedora as
well. There's good reasons why we use koji and I very much doubt that
will change in the short to medium term just because it makes it
easier for you to package things for multiple distros from Windows.
