I think most people do this with repoquery, for example:

  $ repoquery -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} : %{SUMMARY}'

Altaernately you could look at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedora%20Core
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedora%20Extras

Feel free to wiki these links somewhere appropriate.
