Any timeline for supporting repositories in personal accounts? I'm willing to create an organization and move the repository, but I won't bother if it's right around the corner. macOS ARM runners are a gamechanger given the offensively high pricing GitHub offers them at.

Have you seen this announcement by GitHub regarding Apple Silicon:

Today, GitHub is excited to announce the launch of a new M1 macOS runner! This runner is available for all plans, free in public repositories, and eligible to consume included free plan minutes in private repositories. The new runner executes Actions workflows with a 3 vCPU, 7 GB RAM, and 14 GB of storage VM, which provides the latest Mac hardware Actions has to offer. The new runner operates exclusively on macOS 14 and to use it, simply update the runs-on key in your YAML workflow file to macos-14.

I had not seen it--thank you!
We're not prioritizing personal accounts at this point, one of the reasons being to limit spammy accounts. Sorry about the hassle - you sound like a genuine user.
No worries. I've already created the organization; I doubt this will impact many serious users. I look forward to seeing your new Mac support on HN as a top level submission. Since GitHub doesn't give free macOS ARM minutes at all, this should be immediately interesting to anyone running such builds.
