[Rpm-ecosystem] Sync of rpm macros between Fedora/openSUSE

Listening to the roaring sound of the crickets I guess the issue here is
that there is no such thing as "the rpm macros". There are just all kind
of different macros written, used and maintained by different people for
different purposes.

To get at least some of them synchronized I guess someone needs to pick
one, look how it looks like and is used in the different distros and
then talk to the people involved.

While we - as rpm upstream - are happy to help with that I can't really
see us driving this effort. For one this is an issue of capacity but
mainly I rather not have rpm upstream getting involved about the details
of cross distro differences. I rather have us stay as neutral as we can
- which is little enough.

But if we can provide central infrastructure like git repos to collect
and maintain the macros or scripts I am all too happy to step in and
provide some shared space for collaboration.
