I don't think so because the main complaint with the 15-45mm was build consistency. Some people had very good copies of this lens that performed well. The 18-45mm is just too limited in focal length, IMO, and Canon should have done with the 15-45mm what they appear to be doing with the other EF-M lenses ported to the RF mount. That is keep the focal length and basic design. Then tweak them to be a little better than the EF-M versions.

Or make an EF-M to RF adapter.

Unfortunately, this is not physically possible.

A straight-through adapter like the EF-RF adapter is not possible, but an adapter with optics like the FD-EF mount adapter is possible. And like the FD-EF one, it will be expensive, huge and only there for Canon to say "See, you could if you wanted to!"

None of the EF-M lenses is worth going to this effort and expense.  Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
