It is probably easier to add that information directly to the packages. 
Rpmbuild could inspect *.desktop file and produce Provides: from it or 
add a new tag. That way there'd be a distribution independent format and 
way to retrieve this data and the Fedora infrastructure doesn't have to 
deal with the generation on its own.

Can someone please elaborate a bit what pieces of information are really 
needed? The .desktop files as a whole?
