Thanks! Good to hear what features are appreciated.

We actually have this possibility implemented through SCM-1 and SCM-2
source types and webhook mechanism.

We have added --background tag which is very similar to --bulk tag you

Right, this would be a nice option. I could imagine this being implemented
as a configurable fedmsg listener that would launch rebuilds on certain
events
like bumps of certain packages, branching event, and possibly others.
