Hi,
It appears Thunderbird 78.6.0 was never released for CentOS 8.3. Could someone please check on it? Perhaps the Files->c8 section warning is a clue:
Warning: This package was configured for automatic debranding, but the changes failed to apply.
As a related topic, I have experience building RPM's/mock, superficial git user, but I'm still kinda lost how I might be able to get a .src.rpm out of the current state of
https://git.centos.org/rpms/thunderbird/tree/404b3fff4f6bcc2c23e085b4ad2c1eb...
Did you try to simply download the source files from SOURCES / and SPECS/ and then build from there, like 'rpm -bs thunderbird.spec' to get a .src.rpm file? This should always work, no?

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your suggestion, but the SOURCES and SPECS did not exist a few days ago, sorry for not being clear about that. I emailed Johnny Hughes off-list several days ago but received no reply, but maybe he found it and started working on it. I think fixing the debranding issue got things rolling.
Thanks to Fabian also for his detailed reply!
