I can't think of any way to do that without extra magic.  And if you
require something in the spec, you might as well just hardcode it.

Right now the process is:

fedpkg request-repo --summary "Summary of foo" --exception python36-foo
fedpkg request-branch --repo python36-foo epel7
(wait)
fedpkg clone python36-foo
cd python36-foo
fedpkg retire "This is an EPEL-only package"
fedpkg switch-branch epel7

And then copy in your spec and sources, edit and go.  There is no need
for a package review.

That's certainly a few steps but far from the worst process in the
distro.  What could we do to make it easier?
