Questions regarding %pyproject_buildrequires

Hi, I'm tinkering with a package in review, trying to understand the Python RPM build process. The package is hatch-fancy-pypi-readme [1]. The package uses hatch for build, but it includes a non-license file, AUTHORS.md, which I thought would be trivial to patch around, so it's not included in the RPM. I patched the pyproject.toml and added: [tool.hatch.build] exclude = ["AUTHORS.md"] Then I realized %pyproject_buildrequires has the option -w enabled, producing a wheel for metadata extraction. So, I added a patch, putting a MANIFEST.in in the root dir of the project with one line: exclude AUTHORS.md Yet the whl archive still contains the file: hatch_fancy_pypi_readme-22.3.0.dist-info/licenses/AUTHORS.md and so does the final RPM. Do I have to resort to manually removing the file in %prep? I encountered another issue with %pyproject_buildrequires when passing the -t option for automatic test requirements. I wanted to see if I can get rid of the extra BuildRequires in the submitters spec file [2], so I commented out all but python3-dev and python3-test BuildRequires and added -t to %pyproject_buildrequires. That made the build fail with: No matching package to install: 'python3dist(pytest-icdiff)' Yet, I don't see any test or other python module importing icdiff. Building with the original spec file, tests are run and succeed. Is that a known issue with the -t option? Or am I missing something?
