Even if there was such a person, I don't think it's right to "donate" a 
computer to them with the expectation that they will start working on it 
immediately. Remember that OpenBSD exists at the leisure of a group of 
volunteers, and they will work on what they will work on in their own time.

If someone wants M1 support so bad, buy a Mac Mini, and start hacking. 
Let arm@ know so you avoid doubling up on any work anyone else is doing. 
If you don't want to do the work then you can just wait like the rest of us.
