It wasn't intended to use COPR originally, it's just that Fedora releng
ignored my request for close to a year.

I filed <https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11102> for the branch removals.

I must say this is quite confusing.  Why offer self-service branch
creation at all if we aren't supposed to use it in general?

What's the recommended way to collaborate with packages/provenpackagers?
Someone's personal fork on src.fedoraproject.org with a branch with a
wide-open ACL?

Thanks,
Florian
