I'll try to help as much as i can. Currently i'm working on updating the 
gnumed packages for Mandriva 2009.0,
then i'll send in a diff against the suse specs. Business as usual i'd 
say. Maybe we should work on a unified
spec for all distributions the build service supports: 
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/cross_distribution_package_how_to
or at least fix/simplify the spec so it works with all distributions. I 
can help out with Mandriva and if someone
gives me some informations about the other rpm-based distros, also with 
that.

I'll also have a question on the new v10 server, what would be the 
correct way to enable passwordless
(or blank password, which comes out the same in the end) bootstrapping? 
As i had asked that for
v9 server and Karsten told me to edit all .conf files from 
interactive=yes to interactive=no.
This doesn't work with v10, the bootstrapping script complains about not 
finding the password
for gm-dbo database user.

It's not that much work, maybe some people cannot dedicate more of their 
spare time or are not permitted
to do these things during their work time? You could ask some 
maintainers of the distributions in question
for inclusion of gnumed into these distributions repositories.
I did this for mandriva a long time ago, for gnumed-server they refused 
(as a package in general shouldn't
require/install a server-type package per mandriva policy) but the 
client package made it's way into
mandriva subversion repository, along with some 
improvements/recommendations from a mandriva developer:
