 From the Nova perspective, the scheduler meeting (which is Mondays at 
1400 UTC) is the primary meeting where resource tracking and accounting 
issues are typically discussed.

Chris Dent has done a fabulous job recording progress on the resource 
providers and placement work over the last couple releases by issuing 
status emails to the openstack-dev@ mailing list each Friday.

I think having a bi-weekly cross-project (or even cross-ecosystem if 
we're talking about OpenStack+k8s) status email reporting any big events 
in the resource tracking world would be useful. As far as regular 
meetings for a resource management SIG, I'm +0 on that. I prefer to have 
targeted topical meetings over regular meetings.

Best,
