So, it's the -t flag with "b" for an argument, so it'll enter the
"build_t" state:

   173	    rpmbuild)
   174	      [[ -prefix -r ]] && pathopts[1]=
   175	      opts+=( $buildopts
   176	        '(-r -t)-b+[build mode (spec file)]:build stage:((p\:execute\ \%prep\ stage l\:do\ a\ list\ check c\:execute\ build\ stage i\:execute\ install\ stage b\:build\ a\ binary\ package a\:build\ binary\ and\ source\ packages s\:build\ source\ package\ only r\:build\ source\ package\ only\ -\ calculate\ build\ requires)):*:build:->build_b'
   177	        '(-b -t)-r+[build mode (source package)]:build stage:((p\:execute\ \%prep\ stage l\:do\ a\ list\ check c\:execute\ build\ stage i\:execute\ install\ stage b\:build\ a\ binary\ package a\:build\ binary\ and\ source\ packages s\:build\ source\ package\ only r\:build\ source\ package\ only\ -\ calculate\ build\ requires)):*:build:->build_b'
   178	        '(-b -r)-t+[build mode (tar file)]:build stage:((p\:execute\ \%prep\ stage l\:do\ a\ list\ check c\:execute\ build\ stage i\:execute\ install\ stage b\:build\ a\ binary\ package a\:build\ binary\ and\ source\ packages s\:build\ source\ package\ only r\:build\ source\ package\ only\ -\ calculate\ build\ requires)):*:build:->build_t'
   179	        --{rebuild,recompile}':*:source rpm file:->build_r'
   180	      )
   181	    ;;

Which will set $tmp:

   283	    build_t) tmp=( '*:tar file:_files -g "*.(#i)tar(.*|)(-.)"' ) ;|

But then nothing reads $tmp.

Does this help?

It's been discussed before.  tl;dr is that we require one with
bidirectional email integration to preserve the existing workflow, but
none has been proposed.

Cheers,
