Would it be possible to have linux arm64 as a standard release asset?

Hi,

i've noticed in asserts in https://github.com/apache/maven-mvnd/releases that there is no asset for linux arm 64. I appreciate I can build this from scratch but would this be something you would be prepared to supply as a matter of course?

Linux ARM is pretty popular (e.g. AWS Graviton)

Thanks

Thanks @davidmelia, we would be interested to have a linux arm64 distribution. However, I'd prefer (other community members may have different opinions) a solution that can be automated - ideally on some free public CI platform. Either GitHub actions where it should be possible to run the build on top of QEMU ARM emulation on a stock Linux x86_64 node (like I did here)
Or find some of the alternative CI provider that offers ARM64 nodes.
PRs for any of the above would be welcome.
