The options I see are:

4) add a new team for rpcap, as it's a protocol rather than a file format, and thus only indirectly tied to 
pcap/pcapng, and putting the pcap format in the pcapng team because you can't have a pcap*ng* without having had a 
pcap in the first place.

5) Treat rpcap as "remote procedure call for libpcap" and put it under the the-tcpdump-group team, and put pcap under 
the pcapng team as per the same reason as 4).
