Actually it is possible to query BuildRequires with repoquery, but you'll
need to add a separate yum.repos.d entry for FE sources with something
like http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/SRPMS/ as
the baseurl. Then you can do
repoquery --whatrequires lua '*.src'
That works at least with the cvs head version, but should work with the
yum-utils 0.3.1 version as well.

I don't know of anything requiring it either, but then it can be used as a
standalone programming/scripting language if one is masochistic enough :P
