This would be indeed useful, but quite harder to do automagically I think? Is there rpmbuild magic that figures out that a static dependency is being used? If so, new fields could be used in the note section of the ELF object, eg: "staticLibfooName", "staticLibfooVersion", when the elf object is assembled.
In the Debian world we have the Built-Using annotation that goes in the package metadata, I guess I'd use that as a source of info - but it does rely on the maintainer doing the manual annotation (for some languages like golang iirc it's done automatically, but we don't have anything for C/C++ iirc).
