I think the main issue with all this is going to be the brutal fragmentation that’s going to be going forward. Oracle has his own twisted fork of spacewalk that isn’t even a fork by itself. SUSE has SUSE Manager and Uyuni which are both based on the vanilla Spacewalk project but at least they are giving something back. The issue going forward is that the main development branch is going to get severed and truth be told the only feasible options are either:
Full Community Support. Vendor Based Support, with one of the other vendors (Which truth be told I'd not like and neither would most of us. Anyways the future goes I'd volunteer aswell.

No further contributions to > Spacewalk are to be expected from Red Hat after May 2020. This is what I was already assuming (not even expecting 2.10). That is the reason for my own efforts to somehow keep the project alive. What will happen to the project (Github, COPR, spacewalkproject.org) after 2.10? Will it be closed or transferred fully to the community? I see it a bit difficult to further develop the project if the community is then locked out. Starting off a new fork from scratch for Spacewalk 3 (=RH drop out, RHEL8, Python 3) and therefore setting up a new community would certainly cost an unwanted toll. Can I volunteer to join the project board?
