Strong hint: Check out the Guide Tour in bugzilla, which explains it:

No, he meant "rpm -qi". The information printed for any RPM that gets
installed includes the name of the .src.rpm file that it was created
from. And that the name of the .src.rpm file should relate directly to
the component to file a bugzilla against.
Even better, you can join -qi and -qf to "rpm -qif /path/to/file" and
then pipe it to "grep":
$ rpm -qif /usr/bin/amuFormat.sh | grep Source
Group : Applications/System Source RPM: mtools-4.0.10-1.fc11.src.rpm
On the other hand, plain -qf together with --queryformat (or short --qf)
is superior (make it a bash alias if you like):
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/amuFormat.sh --queryformat %{sourcerpm}\\n
mtools-4.0.10-1.fc11.src.rpm
