I usually download GitHub release binaries but in this case, i miss the ones for mac. Would it be possible to also release binaries for mac?

The binaries are provided by the GitHub CI, see https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs/blob/master/.github/workflows/push.yml#L121. Feel free to add more stuff in there, and I'll include the binaries in the releases.

Binary releases like this are always a last resort solution. You should always prefer installing software through some package manager if possible. (This might require packaging it though)

I see it slightly different, downloading from github releases is a quick and dirty thing to get an app, when you don't want to bother with a package manager or that package is missing in the os package manager, even certain "package managers" like cargo binstall download package from github releases.
