arm64 pkg building is taking longer

Hi,

I noticed that ARM64 packages take a few days longer to build and become
available on the official FreeBSD servers compared to AMD64 and i386.

For example, last Monday, Mat committed the Bind 9.2 (dns/bind920) update
to 9.20.5 in the quarterly branch, which has two security fixes. This
update was available on amd64 and i386 2 days later. It's still not
available (after 7 days) for ARM64.

Could we prioritize building packages with security updates, especially for
the quarterly branch? Is anyone aware of any initiatives to improve this
process?

PS: I’m aware that I can set up my own package build infrastructure using
Poudriere and am considering it as a fallback option. However, I’d like to
explore whether we can improve the process for everyone.

Regards,
