Fedora avoids the problem by running rpmbuild in a chroot mini container (provided by systemd) as the mockbuild user with no network access - this extracts source, does %prep, etc. This is done with the 'mock' utility. The reviewer can still examine the prepped source in the host filesystem. The reviewer can also run commands inside the mock chroot container, install additional packages (like vim), get a shell inside the container, etc.
