Perhaps the difference is that they don't have OBS so that setting up one's personal toolbox repositories is much more complicated for their users, giving them more incentive to get their packages into the distribution. :-) (Which doesn't mean I would like to see this option go, no way, it's too addictive.)

That's now years away. 4 maybe? Please don't tell me you just joined SUSE.
I'm pretty sure I still got that warning less than two years ago. Anyway, I never liked the policy so I appreciate the change.
- add "V=1" to make
Why? To make build warnings harder to see?
Neither V=0 nor V=1 is mandated by openSUSE:Factory. (Some contributors may suggest V=1 to you if they once ended in a position where they had to recompile your package just to verify their hypothesis that a bad compiler flag snuck in (or out).)
In my experience, with this kind of problem, I usually have to run a local build and examine the buildroot anyway - and sometimes even chroot into it to do some tests.
- add %{?_smp_mflags} also to make install
Well, why not. But definitely not _after_ the argument.
No particular order is mandated by factory.
This is not about style, this is about POSIX compliance. Personally, I find things like "ls dirname -l" a really bad habit. It relies on a non- standard behaviour of GNU getopt (which can be disabled by setting the POSIXLY_CORECT environment variable).
Your experience appears to have been an isolated incident not connected with factory, but with a prj-level "maintainer" role.
My experience is a bit different but I only maintain a few packages so that it might just have been a bad luck. However, the pattern of people who are not actively maintaining a package accepting requests within hours is, AFAICS, disturbingly frequent.
