I'm not sure exactly how to do this combination, but job-cfg/packages-tests.yaml
shows how to configure the naginator plugin (search for that string…) and
job-cfg/packages-tests.yaml shows how to configure the timeout plugin (search
for timeout).

https://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/publishers.html describes
how to configure the naginator plugin, 
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/wrappers.html the timeout
plugin.
