"rpmbuild -bs" is not "broken", it just doesn't know about rpmautospec
(because it's implemented on top of RPM instead of *in* RPM), but it
will still produce a valid SRPM file, just with default fallback
values for both %autorelease (i.e. 1%{?dist}) and %autochangelog (i.e.
empty). I even still recommend "rpmbuild -bs" to "new packagers" for
building an SRPM outside a dist-git repository (for example, for
submitting it for package review). But for building an SRPM in a
dist-git repo, "fedpkg srpm" is absolutely the better choice.
