Access to use MacOS Large runners in Adoptium Infrastructure repository github workflow

Summary

There is an Otterdog restriction on using the large macos images in github workflows in Adoptium repositories https://github.com/EclipseFdn/otterdog-configs/blob/main/policies/macos_large_runners.yml

  This policy restricts the use of macOS large runners for workflows using GitHub actions.
  If disallowed for an organization, any workflow job that uses such a runner is cancelled.
  In case your project wants / needs to use such runners, please open a ticket at the HelpDesk

I am working to expand Adoptium support for MacOS15, https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/issues/6516. The only MacOS 15 environment I have access to to run tests is those offered by the github runner workflows. At the moment I am using the MacOS-15 default image which is arm64, but for x64 testing I need to use the MacOS-15-large image.

Can an exception be made for the Adoptium infrastructure repository?

Thanks
