hmm. on rereading, I'm not sure whether I understand the problem. 

the iem-ci (maintained by yours truly) has been producing DMGs for some time, 
but this is targeting amd64+arm64, that is: "newer" systems. 

afaict, you are interested in legacy builds for "older" macOS instead (I can 
never keep track of all those versions, let alone codenames).

I think, that no builds for such older macOS have been produced since Pd-0.53.

afaik the real issue is, that the hardware to run such old (developer) systems 
is starting to fall apart, and it is becoming harder and harder to create 
binaries for such systems (given that apple is pushing the developer tools to 
not be able to produce compatible binaries).

also I think that the number of actual users of such legacy systems is rather 
small, so it's not clear whether it is really worth the effort from a dev pov 
(I can obviously only speak for myself, and I'm not a Mac guy - so my cost for 
providing such binaries might be higher than expected).

the question is, whether the community (aka: *you*) could provide binaries if 
they are still wanted.
