Because a script to get stats about patches has to download just the spec files, instead of downloading all patches in addition to that.
FWIW, I'm kind of mixed here: using in-patch information is indeed good because other distros are using this. But on the other hand, I really like the fact that all the information is in the spec file, so I don't have to look elsewhere -- and I used this daily when updating packages.
So you want to *duplicate* information just that the script can be kept a bit simpler?
I'm not saying we should duplicate it -- that's the worst solution. I'm just saying that, in my use case, both solution have ups and downs. And you misread what I wrote since it's not "just" for a script. Having the tags in the spec files does help me too. Daily.
Normally opening a patch in my the editor (vim) is a matter of moving the cursor to the name of the patch and typing "gf", going back is '%'.
And when you have 5 patches and you want to have a quick overview of all of them, you open all files? :-) Having everything in the .spec file is faster in this case.
