The "non-packager scratch build" case is addressed by COPR, no?

I don't see why - it's just as easy to make a ssh key for an application
as it is for an SSL certificate.  If starting a build is a matter of ssh
restricted logins, it wouldn't be that hard to create a connection
programmatically, via subprocess or one of the ssh shared libraries.

(Also, it'd be nice if I could include X-Koji-Build-Now: yes metadata
 in the commit message and skip the secondary build invocation entirely,
 or even go to a model where builds happen on commit by default,
 with a way to opt-out)
