I am aware of that discussion (it is in our Zulip), but I was
referring to the kernel-wide macOS support, because I had read
Daniel's summary and v2 of that series, and it is not clear to me what
is the latest status on supporting macOS.

In particular, there were some patches NAK'd with arguments that may
apply here (e.g. extra process spawns).

Moreover, how will it get tested going forward? (e.g. currently I
can't, but I could look into setting something up if the kernel wants
to support this). If it breaks, is it considered a bug? etc.

You're welcome! Yes, a new version would be needed with the proper
tags/authorship, but first we should probably wait to hear what Kbuild
(or the kernel) thinks.

Cheers,
Miguel
