Just to be clear, other than a few permissions and a very small number of
legal roles, I don't think there is any difference between "the internals
group" and "the community".

If someone were to maintain these, I doubt anyone would object to seeing
them linked on php.net somewhere, with a suitable disclaimer that they
weren't supported builds.

Incidentally, I suggested something related for PHP 8 specifically, so that
people could test the JIT (I talked about distributing pre-alpha milestone
builds in general, rather than Docker in particular), but I'm not sure
anyone got around to doing it.
