Yes, FWIW. I intentionally stopped signing off patches for
Windows, ActiveState Perl and Cygwin: they usually harm the
rest of the world, while just allowing Windows users limp along.

I have to wonder if you are doing that with the full understanding of what
Signed-off-by means.  I do not think the provenance of your patch is
affected by your distaste towards the system it has effects in any way.

I'm trying to avoid being associated with development for the platform :)

Frankly, I just always forget about it. The patches to my windows
repository are mostly just hacks to either make it pass test suite or
workaround another, the platforms specific, stupidity. Not sure anyone
is actually interested in them (because, I repeat, they mostly hurt
everyone else, while making the platforms port "a little working").

What do you really mean?  These patches add maintenance burden but its
benefit nobody would care about, and should not be applied?
