you may request an RFE on fedpkg-minimal [1] , fedpkg-minimal is
responsible for download the sources of the packages when koji starts
the builds. Take a look in fedpkg-base [2] is a very simple script , 
It shouldn't be difficult do what you ask, I think, it will be more
complicated define the concept and be accepted by upstream .
