Why would you look for them at all? That's what tools are for. http://www.math.uh.edu/~tibbs/rpmchanges
I (and probably many others) have similar scripts. I'm wondering if we should trow them together, put the best one into a package (¹) and ship them in Fedora, so people don't have to reinvent the wheel over and over again.
Everyone's welcome to suggest additions to rpmdevtools. But it would not hurt to have another similar but less development oriented package of nifty scripts around.
There's also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/UsefulScripts
Oh, and qa-robot from ALT Linux has a bunch of useful looking things (especially rpmsodiff) that I've meant to take a look at but haven't got around to it yet, anyone interested? Some of them might require some cleanup/changes to be generally applicable outside of ALT Linux. http://www.altlinux.com/index.php?module=sisyphus&package=qa-robot
