There's really 3 options:

- dist-git as it exists today (what we thought made sense in the days of CVS 
converted into git without much re-engineering)
- source-git (used in Debian at least in some places)
- OpenEmbedded-style "converged" git repos

I personally much prefer the OpenEmbedded style as a default; see:
https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/tree/master/meta

For most language packaging it' d be way saner e.g. a specs-$lang like 
github.com/fedora/specs-rust and github.com/fedora/specs-golang than to move 
from what we have now to source git.

Among other things, adding e.g. 3 packages at one can be done as a single pull 
request and tested as a unit.

Plus, they could share code directly in the git repo (as happens with 
OE/bitbake) rather than sharing code via packaging RPM macros.

Source git I could see for things where we basically need to fork and the 
upstream is complex; kernel/systemd perhaps.
