There are a few tools that can use it if it's a full URL:
 - spectool can download the source when given a spec file.
 - fedora-review can verify whether the Source URL points to a file that's
   identical to the file archived in the SRPM.
 - rebase-helper can semi-automatically update a package to a new upstream
   version.

In case Source is not a full URL, at least there must be a comment explaining
to any future packagers how to create the tarball. This is what you now have.
