If suddenly OpenRC (or whatever) gets loads and loads of contributors,
gets lots of init scripts, solves/provides an logind alternative and
does whatever to improve then it should be supported. However, the
support should come from the OpenRC team / interested people. You cannot
assign :-P
IMO (and I'm an interested part / GNOME dude, so no say): blocking
progress is bad. So if someone wants to add OpenRC scripts to packages
and maintenance is low: as packager you should be allowing that to
happen. As long as the time required on packagers part is minimal. Only
by not blocking progress things can move to working nicely. But that
also means that it really falls under the task of people interested in
something different to make such change happen. At the moment there is
too much "blocking progress" going on IMO (but then against anything
other than sysvinit).
