Fedora website suggestions

I was wondering if the Fedora website could have the following
added to it:

(1) a searchable index of the "rpm -qi" info, so one can search
    for packages based on their descriptions

(2) a table mapping the "rpm -q --filesbypkg" database back to
    package name... i.e. if you are missing a file and you want to
    know what package provides it...

(3) perhaps a table of deltas to the latter (i.e. a way of easily
    seeing what packages recently added/dropped files from their
    bill-of-materials)

Sound reasonable?
