This is all great, but the problem is that co-maintainers and
provenpackagers need to be (automatically if possible) added to the
fedorahosted tree.  Otherwise there's a big extra step for them if
they want to follow the package owner's preferred patching system.

I agree in general that this could be something added to / aided by
fedpkg.
