[Qgis-psc] QGIS for Mac OS packaging and infrastructure

Hi Saber,

There was discussion to help fund the remaining "severe" issues you have 
around the MacOS builds.

Can you provide us estimates on how much funds are needed to finish the 
following three items (skipping the GRASS issues for now - can be 
handled later):

- Lack of Python support for macOS 10.11 and 10.12 - Unable to transfer 
of the infrastructure and automatic builds under QGIS.org- from Tim: 
Ability to add python packages (maybe adding another python path to 
directory in the user’s current profile path

?

With respect to additional small donations I got: this adds up to approx 
100-200 € earmarked towards MacOS. I can forward this to Lutra, however, 
if the PSC decides, we might also fund more, so you are able to finish 
the above three items.

With respect to Tim's crash:

- Getting a crash when trying to move dock widgets around (in current 
LTR build)

Is there a ticket? If yes, this can be handled during the normal bug 
fixing cycles. We just treat MacOS like all the other platforms. Nothing 
special about it.

Greetings,
Andreas
