I fully agree, but it is already explicitely permitted in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Policy/WhoIsAllowedToModifyWhichPackages

All is needed is a set of scripts and maybe FESCo taking a lead. One
occasion I see would be the mass rebuild of packages that depend on
doxygen after the 'non reproducible anchors bug' is fixed -- that is
doxygen is updated to latest version.
