There is now a new list for libwin32 (which I've CC'd):

I posted some libwin32 patches to the tracker.
I will maintain the cygwin package for libwin32 and would like to have several patches applied, based on rafael kitover's work.
Is there a reasonable timeframe when someone (I don't care who) will apply some patches from the last 2 years?

But at first I'll start with the simple ones. I don't want to break mingw, borland and msvc.
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11399 Added Win32::Process::GetCurrentProcessID()
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=11397 bad APINET test
Missing are true tests for Win32::Job (it does some testing but doesn't return ok or not ok), a basic build system simplification, and several XS issues for gcc.
The current cygwin port with full patch is at http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/release/perl-libwin32/
I don't know how you think of adding Aldo's Win32::API to libwin32, here are much better FFI's around, with working callbacks for gcc, but this module in question sits on this namespace and works only on MSVC.
Maybe we could adopt it for libwin32 and fix it for gcc. Aldo will say ok for sure.
I have several patches but Aldo is even less responsive than you guys here. If so I would think of some Win32::API callback solution for gcc and borland. Some hack30 trick as an C::Dynalib or FFI.
