I've seen this method floating around too:

Vendor: PyVault Repository <http://python.org/pyvault>
Packager: Jeff Pitman <symbiont at berlios.de>

As these are in .rpmmacros, I'd also assume Distribution is defined in 
the same manner.  Although, I haven't done this yet.  For mach, this 
also needs to go in ~/.machrc in config['macros'].  Since rpmbuild is 
executed within and without the chroot, watch out for that.

I'm still very interested in converging on a standard, so I hope that no 
one gives up on this stuff.  Would be nice to have some documentation 
on this; though, more discussion is needed.  Remember, don't 
underestimate the power in numbers.  We're not Fedora, but we can still 
make an influence.  Besides, these are issues Fedora would rather avoid 
talking about altogether.
