rpmautospec is a shortcut which allows you to not fill Release tag in
the dist-git manually. But to rebuild a package you still need at
least one additional commit to dist-git, which will change the value
that macro calculates. In the end the number is tied to dist-git
history.
rpmautospec automates the Release tag itself (as a version for spec
files), it doesn’t have a Build component in it. Thus, while
rpmautospec is a valuable tool for working on dist-git sources, its
development doesn’t overlap with the Build tag topic.
And, for example, rpmautospec will not help in the case we need to
update a build on pull request update: When you work with
pull-requests you don’t necessarily add commits, you rework the
history of a branch from which you run a PR. Sometimes even reducing
the number of commits in it.

1) This is a temporary solution until we get full support of the Build
tag upstream
2) It probably can be simplified.
I am no expert in RPM macro language, but, for example, if we agree to
set default Build value to 0, it can be just Release:
12.%{?dist}.%{build}
But this is indeed one of the open questions, where we are looking for
more options.
