Educating packagers about always making changes in devel / rawhide first

[Christopher Meng]

I think some packagers don't follow Fedora too often, so for a while
we can't avoid this issue. But fedpkg should have a RFE:

1. fedpkg checks if the branch is able to receive commits as normal,
then return status of the branch.

But here comes a problem, Fedora allows packagers to commit to the EOL
branch(and even there is a badge[1] is for this "achievement", IMO
it's really nonsense for packagers to commit to the EOL branches,
ludicrous)

2. If it's commitable, then go ahead like normal.

3. If not, return a message to packagers, tell them that branch(with
mapping to the actual release but not just a simple branch name) is
abandoned.

4. Then git pull --rebase, handled by fedpkg. Should add a switch
branch action to remap the branches, not sure.

5. Fine again, notify packagers finish the work.

In spite of the above can solve the problem IMO, the strategy of the
commit to the EOL branches should be enhanced still.
