In any case, problems arise, because MacOS recognizes that it's not an
application signed by an affiliated Apple Developer...
 I wonder if there's someone in this community, as an officialy
registered Apple Developer, someone who can take care to sign the
open-source libs/applications made by this community.

well I guess that would go against the conditions (and the idea) of this certificate. The signature proves that it is an app from a certain developer, who then takes responsibility of the content. I let Kevin Walzer chime in, who has actual experience with macOS apps.
I think building an application folder is the absolute minimum requirement. It isn't that hard, I have Makefiles to do this: https://github.com/BessyHDFViewer/BessyHDFViewer/blob/main/Makefile#L23
The resulting apps look and feel like everything else to a macOS user - apart from the signing problem.
