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].

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).
