The situation is already much better:

rpmdev-newinit
rpmdev-newspec
cpanspec

Examples:

$ rpmdev-newspec -m -r 4.5 -o package.spec

Generates a spec file with all the tags required for RHEL 5 systems; while
the following:

$ rpmdev-newspec -m -o package.spec

Generates a spec file with all the tags required for RHEL 6 and Fedora
systems.

You can experiment with -r for the various rpm versions and there's also
some logic in the command to generate the correct %post and %postun
sections if the spec file has "libs" in its name. The same goes for python,
etc.

For perl; you can use cpanspec:

$ cpanspec -m Math-Polygon-Tree

This super handy tool generates a spec file that already includes license,
description, version, etc. all generated from CPAN; with the "-o" switch
you can also generate for older RHEL/Fedora releases.

For RHEL SysV init scripts use:

$ rpmdev-newinit -o package.init

The various init scripts and rpm spec files do follow of course the package
guidelines.
