Sounds good. We had some discussion in tickets, but here is likely a
better place anyhow. ;)

Yeah.

How about a short term and a longer term plan?

Short term: have copr download and store the src.rpm from build urls. 
This would at least make things reproducable and at least someone could
download the src.rpm and send a patch. Along with this a easy way to
mail the owner of a copr would be good. 

Longer term: use pagure. Have people setup their project there and work
with pagure folks to integrate copr. We could have an easy 'build this
in copr' type thing and on the copr side a 'visit this project on
pagure'. 

I think trying to do a standalone dist-get will just cause problems
when/if we want to move to something like pagure and has a lot of
issues without building up a bunch of infrastructure around it. 

Just my thoughts on it...
