Hum, I'm stupid. Just realized this already works:
[pmatilai at weasel yum-utils]$ ./repoquery.py --qf "%(name)-40s %(repoid)s" 
-a|head -5
a52dec                                   freshrpms
a52dec-devel                             freshrpms
advancescan                              freshrpms
alsaplayer                               freshrpms
armagetronad                             freshrpms

However it would be nice to support rpm's way of formatting as well, eg
'Version     : %-27{VERSION}       Vendor: %{VENDOR}\n' (from rpm -qi)
and some other tricks like date conversions, eg
Build Date: %{BUILDTIME:date}

...but that'll need some more sophisticated parsing or funkier regexps.
