> Just to add: what we would really like is for someone to step forward as
the Maintainer of the X86_64 MacOS port of GHC. Then we really could make
it a Tier-1 platform (see
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms). In principle its not
hard:
> * MacOS is already in one Tier-1 platform (32 bit)
> * x86_64 is already in another Tier-1 platform (Linux)
> All we need to do is to put the two together -- and some folk are
already working on that (#3472).

> But for us to sign up to Tier-1-ness, we need someone (or a small group)
to sign up to being the maintainers.

I would definitely be willing to "co-maintain" this with someone else, but
as a relative newcomer to Haskell and GHC (who hasn't even succeeded in
making an unregistered build for this platform yet) I don't think I'd be
suitable as a sole maintainer. Any experts out there who'd be willing to
help?
