let's say you're an open source app, and develop on linux using electron. there are some people that would like to run your app on a mac, but you don't have one. you can set up github CI so that your app gets built into an appimage, that's a little work, but not much. should you now also be required to pay for the luxury of sending one or two people an app? should they pay for it?

this is not hypothetical; I literally just received a GH issue update asking if we can use community funds for the $100 ransom^Wfee.
