It would also be bureaucratically simpler to just make it a sub-RPM of
'qemu' rather than a standalone qemu-srpm-macros package, but given the
frequency of changes that's not a massive pain, given that virt maintainers
would still own it.

I think I'd prefer to stay away from redhat-rpm-config. Not because it
is a problem in Fedora, but because it will cause us pain downstream
to deal with RHEL development process bureaucracy to commit changes
into a package we don't directly own as virt maintainers.
