I would also like to remind you of https://build.opensuse.org, even if I 
think it has little chance (for whatever reason).

Of course, it involves some work, but in my opinion it offers what is 
needed to create packages for a wide variety of distributions.

Automatic builds are also possible, e.g. if something changes in the master.

The download of a package could then look like this, for example:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=openSUSE%3ATools&package=osc
