I can't think of one.
MeeGo[1], OpenSUSE[2], Buildroot[3] for actual packaging stuff, for tightly related distro projects, OBS[4] and, pacman[5], and for projects intended for other distros as well there's for example pulseaudio[6], and systemd[7]. > linux, qemu, ffmpeg and vlc are all single projects rather than > aggregations of hundreds of packages. Different community, different needs. I don't think reviewboard was suggested for the packaging itself, we use OBS already for that[8]. It was about MeeGo-related projects, just like Fedora's systemd (not really only Fedora's). Cheers.
