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? 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 '%'. Regards, Bernhard
