At the moment, we don't have an API available for 3rd party developers, so
it would be nobody.

Once we have an API available, "anyone" could do it, but as to who actually
WOULD do it - that depends on alot of things, most of them financial - ie,
would the developer of such a conduit be able to recover their investment
of time/$ via the sales of a Mac conduit for their product, or otherwise
consider it strategic enough to do it for other reasons?

That question is a bit ahead of the game. (see above).
