The Mac sector at Gutenprint had not yet been able to post a signed and notarized version that would install on macos 10.15.x. Michael was able to get your last package notarized and is making it available for us to use.

I think that Xcode 12 will be needed to deal with Apple's new chipset.  That requires macos 15.x or macos 11.  Would you be able to those build environments available?  I *think* those are the minimum requirements that are now needed for a Mac maintainer.
The last question should read --Would you be able to provide that build environment and get the package notarized?
