This one seems on-point.  rpm 4.14.1-9.fc28 fails: 
https://taskotron.fedoraproject.org/resultsdb/results/21327930

Is it possible to filter only failures out of the results list?

That's pretty much the same for most things in this domain.  Any change
we make to any build-time configuration isn't going to have any effect
until packages are actually built.

Still, at least personally I would much rather have something fail when
I do a mock build to tell me that something deep within the build
process is calling /usr/bin/python.  Waiting until after the slowest
koji builder has managed to churn through a package to find out that you
missed a python execution somewhere is not nearly as useful.  Obviously
there are some tasks which simply require higher level testing, and
having those results presented in a searchable manner is great, but
that's no replacement for failing early when that is possible.
