Building the Mac installer requires volunteer time which I'm not sure that more hardware will fix - compiling a full build of Python for Mac OS X (with all the Python modules like Tkinter etc) requires expertise which only a few people have. That's nuts. Why isn't this expertise captured in the form of a script? Much of it is, but it still takes expertise to run the script. It would take even more expertise to capture the remaining pieces in the script, too, and no living person has that much expertise to write the script (perhaps there are one or two people, and they don't have the time). I take it you don't mean to imply that there's a dead person somewhere with the necessary expertise? [ducks].
