There are two major problems involved in a revival. (1) MGM declared bankruptcy, which delayed or completely killed some projects and is limiting what they can do in the near future. (2) The last show tanked. It only got two seasons because that was a part of the contract with SyFy, who probably thought they had a surefire winner by melding concepts from nuBSG with the Stargate name.
I think time will eventually allow a reboot to happen, but who knows what angle they will take? MGM owns the original Stargate movie and the characters outright, which means they could crank out a new show featuring Jack, Daniel, and any other characters from the original movie. Or only the Stargate might remain with a completely different concept.
I know Mallozzi and his co-hort Mullie were some of the many former Stargate TPTB were hired to work on the new "Transporter: The Series" show, but left as showrunners three weeks into it due to "creative differences" which is the generic nice way to let someone go. I hate to say it, but it felt a bit like karma at work.
