I think some packagers don't follow Fedora too often, so for a while we can't avoid this issue. But fedpkg should have a RFE:
1. fedpkg checks if the branch is able to receive commits as normal, then return status of the branch. But here comes a problem, Fedora allows packagers to commit to the EOL branch(and even there is a badge[1] is for this "achievement", IMO it's really nonsense for packagers to commit to the EOL branches, ludicrous) 2. If it's commitable, then go ahead like normal. 3. If not, return a message to packagers, tell them that branch(with mapping to the actual release but not just a simple branch name) is abandoned. 4. Then git pull --rebase, handled by fedpkg. Should add a switch branch action to remap the branches, not sure. 5. Fine again, notify packagers finish the work. In spite of the above can solve the problem IMO, the strategy of the commit to the EOL branches should be enhanced still.
