Hi Ian, I think the homebrew cask can point at a dmg on the web, and us packaging folk have already been discussing implementing a non-changing URL redirect that points you to the latest build on your platform.
If you find out homebrew cask can pull from a dmg via HTTP (htttps...), let me know and I will promote the stable url in my todo list. Get some sleep and don't put KiCad too high on your to-do list; new humans are pretty cool and so are the people that make them!
