I'm not sure how comfortable we would be with running builds on other users'
hardware, but if you can develop the software process for cloning a template
VM, getting buildbot or whatever running on it, accepting a job from a GitHub
PR notification, and so forth, then we could possibly deploy it on our
hardware. We currently use VMware ESXi on our Intel hardware. We do not have a
plan yet for what we would do with Apple Silicon hardware.

I can't answer that. I haven't looked into how the CI systems we use work.
