Hey Chris,
I'm interested! My workplace hands out laptops running MacOS, and while
I don't use one, and most people using them do development in a Ubuntu
VM, I'd love to have the option to help my colleagues use Guix on their
machines.

I'd be interested in helping out, but I have never seriously used
MacOS, so this would be quite a learning curve.
Thanks,
Chris
