Redirecting you to Anthony here for the specifics. The main problem is that we
don't have anyone who takes the lead on Windows support. _If_ something breaks
of _if_ we need someone to take over the windows specific parts, there's this
huge gap.
So if you're willing to play that role, please send a patch to the MAINTAINERS
file and add yourself :)
Btw Anthony, what happened to the really well done MAINTAINERS file overhaul?
