The package-cleanup script from yum-utils can do part of this. Using
the --leaves option gets you a list of packages that are not required
by any other packages. The --orphans option lists packages that are
not available from any configured repos. You would have to feed these
lists to yum remove to uninstall packages you wanted to remove, but
that may work for you.
