There's still a "Packaging SIG" listed as active at
https://governance.openstack.org/sigs/ with the description:

     To make OpenStack easier to update and consume by operators and
     provide tooling to package all OpenStack projects directly for
     (at first) all RPM based distributions.

According to governance, it's responsible for the following projects
in OpenDev:

     openstack/rpm-packaging
     openstack/rpm-packaging-tools
     openstack/pymod2pkg
     openstack/renderspec

Perhaps that would be a good place to coordinate (and revive if
necessary)?
