I'm for example maintaining pkgs for Fedora and even run Koji build
system of my own. Lack of packages is not a problem.

Our problem was that there were packages in Fedora which were from 
0.2x branch and everyone was reporting bugs/focusing on those. I
even tried hard to get them to drop those without luck.

Then we had problem that development broke too many things that
SCM HEAD was unusable and didn't really make sense to ship even
for testing.

The question is, has that change recently? I tried to ask
this from core developer, but never got any reply.

There is plenty of people waiting to join back to the minor tasks
for opensync if there actually would be something to do.
