Is there anything users can do to help move Apple Silicon support from Tier 3 to Tier 1?

It’s not: to unblock the situation, already known issues have to be fixed. CI is really a minor problem at this point. Also, I had already pointed out a side approach to make more likely packages will work on the M1: test them on aarch64 Linux. It’s clearly not the same thing, but helps a lot for catching architecture-related issues, and I’ve personally caught some this way. It doesn’t help much with platform-specific issues (like the well known segfault).
