Hi @GavinRay97 sorry for the late reply.

After some internal discussions, we have decided not to take on this patch, or any other that adds a docker file.

A docker file pulls in several dependencies from the internet, which have to be individually vetted and approved on a per-version basis.

As we already do this for the gradle build, we are wary of adding more process overhead by adding a docker file (or other things that pull in more dependencies) to the repo as well. Besides that, it's another build configuration to maintain, and we already have 2 (gradle and make).
