Description: An HTTP service for building bootable OS images. It provides the
same API as lorax-composer but in the background it uses osbuild to create the
images.

This is request for a *package rename*. There's already
golang-github-osbuild-composer package in Fedora, but we (the upstream team,
I'm a member of it) think that the name is confusing to the end-users. Quoting
the go packaging guidelines:
> Source packages that provide a well-known application such as etcd MUST be named after the application. End users do not care about the language their applications are written in. But do not name packages after an obscure utility binary that happens to be built by the package.
We think that osbuild-composer is well-known application. Additionally, we
don't ship any go library files, therefore it doesn't make sense to have go in
the package name.
We maintain the spec file upstream, therefore it has also some parts for RHEL
and the tests subpackage which we won't ship to Fedora (it provides zero value
to the end-users). I would like to apologize, if it's a bit hard to read.
