Also, during commitfests patches that relate to Windows often suffer from a shortage of peer reviewers: hopefully instructions in use of MinGW for building on Windows can help that. Committed patches are automatically tested on MicroSoft Windows by the Build Farm, but the turn around time on that testing is too slow to be convenient for people who do not work in a Window environment but are touching parts of the code which have cross-platform implications, or for issues which are not explored by the standard build and regression tests but require custom testing.
Most of the people who do development work of the PostgreSQL system do so in a Unix-like environment, so that is where most of the testing is also done.
