The idea is to package enhanced versions for Windows and Mac so that these users can just install that version without going through all the hoops as well as packaging both the regular and enhanced ported version for the most common Linux package formats (deb, rpm, pacman and AppImage)

Windows: package enhanced version into an installer (nsis)
Mac: package enhanced version into an installer (signed dmg)
Linux: package both normal and enhanced versions (deb, rpm, pacman and AppImage)

Since it needs to build native modules, this is probably need to use appveyor for Windows and Travis for Linux, MacOS.
Maybe it's possible to use GitHub Actions as they have support for Windows, but this is not documented on electron-builder's wiki.

GitHub Actions supports running on Windows, Linux and MacOS, it's a pretty compelling CI/CD service for this project.
