The response is no... if no other person do not do the job. For the moment,
i maintain AppImage, Windows and MacOS bundles. I cannot do more than
this... Maintaining these packages take a while.

I'm not to much interested by the cloud delegation to build this kind of
packages, as we will lost to most important point : to know all the in-deep
details to assemble optimized bundles accordingly with the reports posted
by users on bugzilla.

All the bundles are built on my computers at home and it work like a charm
now (more and less), after 3 years of development. It's not perfect, but if
we delegate this kind of job, we will inherit of other projects
dependencies/constrains. We needs flexibility, not complexity.
