some time ago I sent a proposal over this. 

in practice, we maintaining all platforms (mac, linux and windows) and the work is available to everybody (and is not just me: Igor, Camillo and Guille work on that too, a lot... and now is Clement doing some work too). And we did not fork, we maintain compatibility.

I didn't resign as mac maintainer, but I see no point on having a different build process that the one I have now (which relies on git, CMakeMaker and Jenkins), and doing it would predate my time (which is not much). 

I even tried to add this information into mac page of squeakvm.org (along with different links with the different available links), just to discover I do not have write rights anymore (probably lost in a server change). 

That. We are far so few to lose effort duplicating the work of others, and since I'm having a really bad day, please let me say it as a feel it, and I'm sorry if I offend your susceptibility: If you are going to continue ignoring my work just because I program with a different process and in a different environment, please tell me and I will stop losing my time sending mails to this list. 
Otherwise, we are open for any contributions.
