We should consider an %r_source macro similar to the existing %pypi_source macro which is used for python packages. See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_source_files_from_pypi I would be happy to write it, but I don't enough about R packaging to know how uniformly the tags you mention above (%packname, specifically) are adhered to in the current packaging set.

Well you should certainly open a ticket with the packaging committee if you wish to propose changes to the packaging guidelines. https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/ You can even send a pull request.
