I think most people do this with repoquery, for example:
$ repoquery -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} : %{SUMMARY}'
Altaernately you could look at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedor...
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedor...
Feel free to wiki these links somewhere appropriate.
It now occurs to me that you may not have been talking about the summary
and description *FIELDS* from a software package. If not, my apologies!
