You are only allowed to do this work and create a release of such an installer if you build and test it on all supported platforms with complete feature parity.

_I kid!_ That’s not serious at all. You really don’t need to ask permission to do _anything_ around here. Just do it if you want to do it. It’d start as a speculative experiment, which is pretty much how `juliaup` started. Build the thing, get folks to try it, make it robust, and build enough confidence and support for it to be marked official. Even that final step, though, is simply a proposed change to the website: [Recommend juliaup by IanButterworth · Pull Request #1969 · JuliaLang/www.julialang.org · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/www.julialang.org/pull/1969).

You’ll likely find the most success at building a community around the thing if you build it where the community is or work within the context of existing efforts.
