We need such metadata in yum though. Maybe this 'place' could be added

It is, in fact, on the feature list. We got a considerable amount of
pushback the first time I implemented it b/c a lot of people thought the
data should be in the rpmdb, not in a separate yum db. Various folks
have given up since then and decided we can put it in a yum 'db' of some
kind and query it from yum.
Even it rpm did implement it, people are still going to put different or
conflicting versions of the same rpm in different repositories, and by
the time rpm sees it, it won't know which one yum picked up. Unless you
could pass it a source tag to stuff in the database.
