From our discussions at DebConf14 it sounds like Barry Warsaw is working on this but I don't think it will be ready in time. I also think it is far too early to package mailman3 in a stable distro release at this time.
I wouldn't say "working on this" but maybe "want to work on this". ;)
However I agree that it's too early to put MM3 in any stable distribution channel. I think the core would be relatively easy to package up, though I'm much less experienced in correctly packaging Django apps (Postorius and Hyperkitty). There was a web-app session at Debconf14 so I think it might even be better to wait and see what the outcome of that is.
For Debian, it could go to experimental which would be a clear sign that it's available to play with, but not deemed stable. For Ubuntu, it would probably be best to stick it in a PPA.
My RPM experience is way too rusty to admit having it.
