The logical place to do things like this would be in a yum plugin.
However, that's going to run into the 'don't want to use yum' problem,
so you start having to tie hooks into rpm itself, which leads you to
macro-ization of everything, %define __post_transaction_hook, a mechanism
to pass arbitrary transaction data from a commandline program to another
commandline helper... fun.
