They are actually on this list as well; I think it is more about needing volunteers and assistance to get everything done. No sense doing QA on a mac download if they are not personally using it.

I think we have the jars, and are keeping the latest jars in uDig. The jars change more often then the GDAL bindings... Simone will know more.
