TLDR: Is $SUBJ function reasonable to implement in fedpkg?

Hi,

some time ago, fedpkg issue tracker got a request [1] for method, that
allows direct builds. That means without sending srpms via "--srpm"
argument. Currently, user's changes can be built:

    fedpkg scratch-build --srpm

This way, fedpkg sends srpm file to koji. Without "--srpm", fedpkg sends
just (git) hash id to koji. But fedpkg needs modification to send a right
hash id for user changes. Additionally, koji doesn't allow building hash
ids from forked repos.
The question to the community. Is reasonable to implement this way of
building scratches? --srpm argument would still work as previously.

There is a suggested PR for this here: [2]. It is not completed yet.

Risks:
* approach could confuse users. Users are used to work with fedpkg
differently.
* koji would have to allow these builds
* more code complexity; currently there is a way how to reach your result
even without this function

Thanks
Ondrej
