It actually builds install-able and usable packages for Fedora and
openSUSE. This week we'll give an official announcement that unity
works on openSUSE and will make a live CD available based on openSUSE
with unity. We would also like to see Mageia running unity, but this
would not be done by us ( I am mainly working on openSUSE, Xiao-Long
is working on Fedora and openSUSE). But I offer my help, if you want
to do it also with obs on GNOME:Ayatana. At the moment the structure
of a package is as follows:

It would't need to be done that much to get it working on Mageia. The
spec files for openSUSE and Fedora are quite similar and based on each
other.
I have no voice nor vote, but I really would prefer Mageia invest efforts
if any on integrating Cinnamon better than Unity. But that is just personal
stuff...
Everybody has a voice and vote, it's a community :)
I would imagine there are members of the community out there who would
love to see Unity included. It only needs somebody to actually do it.
We're still quite short of packagers so the ones we have are already
quite overloaded. There is a great mentoring scheme too to get you started.

I'd suggest an appeal to the wider community, there must be somebody out
there who would like to see Unity included and is willing to get
involved and make it happen.
Maybe also try the forums and mageia-discuss mailing list too.
Well mentoring is important, users also but if there are zillions
patches on core GNOME it's another thing. And this has to be discussed here
