If $PACKAGE is in a separate repository, be it a 'lightly-maintained' repo or a copr, how do we go about communicating to users wanting to install it that they need to activate that repository and that the software they download from it may or may not work?

Yeah, because we want those packages to be available as build dependencies. So coprs are out (unless we allow pulling in coprs into the koji buildroot, which I don't think we should.) Instead of a separate maintained repo, I'd go for a "Requires" or "Provides" tag on packages instead. This would be easier to implement (packagers could just add this as any other Requires), and we could easily tweak dnf to emit a warning or require a special option before those packages were installed on the end user system.
