MPC7500:
Haiku would be a good candidate
https://www.haiku-os.org

Or NetBSD.

DKnoto:

The Haiku community now has little interest in PPC architecture :(

Maybe ravynOS, it's an interesting project.

MPC7500:
Haiku only because of lack of hardware. They don't even have Macintosh PowerPCs.

But still there are some activities:

--- Quote --- Kallisti5 fixed some minor problems with the PowerPC port to keep it building and simplify it a bit. Kallisti5 and waddlesplash also continued cleaning up the RISC-V sources and fixing various minor issues there.
--- End quote ---

I would ask Kallisti5 and waddlesplash if they're interested in hardware.

Edit: At least these two developers located in the US ...
Edit 2: Discussion on Twitter.

MPC7500:
Another possibility helloSystem. probonopd is located in Germany ;-)

DKnoto:
I spoke to Kallisti5 some time ago about PPC, but he was not interested and basically dissuaded me. I am a Haiku user and was very keen on the system. You'll even find me on the authors list, I've thrown in a few minor tweaks to the system. I even tried to compile Haiku on a PPC but the task overwhelmed me, I can't devote that much time to it.

I think helloSystem is dead compared to ravynOS.
