I'd find it more valuable if it confirmed the deps could be satisfied. As it is now a typo in a "Requires" statement isn't picked up until you manually try to install the RPM.
The problem with that is that any Requires would forcibly need to be
available in the buildroot (so a BuildRequires)... whereas this is often
the case, there are many cases where this assumption would only lead to
much larger build cyles (especially true with python stuff - you need
close to nothing to build/install it, but to run you might need a lot
more).
When forwarding stuff to TW, though, it is ensured that at the time it
is accepted, it is installable. Of course this can change over time
(think changed libraries, wrongly executed package renames)
