Not everything has to be an RPM macro ... And I'm not even sure how
you would extract the value of these macros from the .spec file for
external consumption. Parsing RPM .spec files yourself is very hard,
and RPM's own spec parsing machinery doesn't really expose all that
much of its innards to the outside via its API.

I've spent a few minutes working on a DRAFT of my suggested
"SourceScript"-based functionality for spectool here:
https://pagure.io/rpmdevtools/pull-request/94

It was surprisingly simple to implement, works just fine, and
integrates with the default "spectool -g *.spec" use case.
It just calls the specified script with the value of the .spec file's
"Version" tag as an argument (making it unnecessary to parse the .spec
file in the script for a second time, just to extract the version
string again). Adding other CLI arguments (though I wouldn't know any
argument other than "%{version}" that would be useful here) would be
simple.

I'd be interested to see whether that would be enough to satisfy the
use case mentioned at the start of the thread, though I think the
current implementation should be flexible enough (maybe too flexible,
even).
