In terms of bundled provides, for nodejs parts at least you shouldn't have to manually add the lines to the specfile. The nodejs packaging /usr/lib/rpm/nodejs.prov script magically adds the bundled provides for you. If dotnet is similarly explosive, then I would hope a similar tool is possible to auto-add the bundled provides. You still have to provide a suitable SPDX license tag though, and there isn't a good shortcut for that. The nodejs-packaging-bundler package provides a tool to create the bundle and that can extract and report on license info. You still have to review its report and confert that into a suitable SPDX expression though. The SPDX expressino will still be relativey compact since there will be few distinct licenses to report. IOW, the specfile should not need to have 1950 lines, but you'll still have quite alot of work to figure out the right SPDX tag.
