I think there are several people who run the tests on OS X fairly regularly (I note that another fix for the t1410 problem has already materialized :) ).

However, I think it is nice when test failures are caught early, before you have merged topics (to master or elsewhere). That helps isolate the failures to their particular topics.

I know you "make test" before pushing out the results of any integration you do. And I recall that for a while (and maybe still?) you even did so on VMs of a few common platforms. OS X is notoriously irritating to run in a VM, but would you be interested in a network-accessible install that you could push to and "make test" on as part of your routine?

If what Michael is offering cannot do that, I am sure I can get GitHub to set something up.
