I've put some info about the current build log formats on the wiki: 
https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/BuildlogFormat
Fabian already added some info about his log format.

The current log formats are quite different, so probably it isn't easy to 
switch each buildsystem to 1 fixed common format. Possible solution:

    * define a format for sections, for example with the '---' as used in 
Dag's logformat.
    * define a set of required sections, at least:
          o a general header with info about the build
          o the output of rpmbuild
          o the result of the rpmbuild command 
    * allow additional sections, just like you can add additional X- headers 
in a mail
    * a standard name for the log file

What do you think?
