The process is explained in the gimp-macos-build repository. Current maintainers for the macOS build are Oleksii Samorukov (who created the process but lacks time lately) and more recently Des McGuinness. So I would suggest to first have a look at the scripts. Then you are welcome to propose some patches to work on a build for the dev version too, which would indeed be very nice. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that Des has had the time to look into it as he focused on getting the stable version up to speed first. Anyway more devs the merrier. Something which can be done is to set up a branch for you and we will let you merge test commits on this branch for you to get acquainted with the build system and have automatic CI builds (while not merging tests into the main branch). If you are interested, please tell me (on a report or on IRC for instance).
