Should we discuss Windows-related changes on git@vger.kernel.org?

I decided to stop queuing changes in 4msysgit. Instead I'd like to bring the diff between Junio's and 4msysgit's master to zero. This seems to be achievable after Junio merged Hannes' MinGW changes.

I think all Windows-related changes to the git code base could be discussed directly on the main git list and the msysgit list would be reserved for the MinGW/MSYS runtime environment and the installer. I do not expect that Windows-related changes would add too much traffic to the list. But, even though we have mechanisms to separate the platform-specific code from the main code base (like git-compat-util.h), the Windows-related changes eventually need to be integrated with the mainline, so it might make sense to discuss them on the main list right away.

What do you think?
