https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User:David_Hedlund/Free_software_for_macOS 
is focused on a single OS like

https://www.gnu.org/software/for-windows.html. The main advantage with the FSD 
is that anyone can edit it, more freedom to the people!

RMS asked me to gather info about free software for macOS, so 
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User:David_Hedlund/Free_software_for_macOS 
should be merged to https://www.gnu.org/software/for-macos.html if we later 
decide that we don't want a FSD page for it.
