That is exactly what fedpkg does. It calls rpmbuild with a config that 
is compatible with the dist-git layout.

Regarding documenting the configuration that rpmbuild needs, I have 
proposed earlier [1] that people who want to promote rpmbuild usage 
write a tutorial for that. It could create the same package that current 
GNU Hello tutorial creates, just using an alternative toolset.

A lighter way would be to just add a new section to "Installing Package 
Tools" [2], explaining what needs to be configured so that rpmbuild can 
be invoked directly.

Personally, I would prefer that contributions to Package Maintainer Docs 
would either fix parts that are wrong, outdated or unclear, or add 
material that is completely missing, instead of adding alternatives for 
topics that are already well covered. But these docs are under shared 
ownership of all Fedora packagers, so if somebody thinks it is important 
and is willing to work on it, pull requests are welcome!
