You need to make sure you understand that the "name" does not contain .rf, .plus or otherwise. That is (generally) part of the Release String. RPMs are named in a Name-Version-Release.Arch pattern.
Knew that it was not an official field. Presummed some parsing would be needed. Just part of the jon if one chooses to go that way.
This has been discussed on the yum mailing list previously, and it is difficult (at best) to track what repository an RPM came from, especially when RPMs are installed by hand, repositories are removed, etc. The RPM database does not allow for this information in its current implementation.
In order to implement what you suggest above goes beyond yum into RPM-land. Either way, this probably isn't the right mailing list for this discussion.
Yep. I always get seduced by all the apparently OT threads we see without complaint. So I just jump right in with my own OT thread.
