Is this something that could be funded by Microsoft, and is it time to
approach them perhaps? MS MPI is based on MPICH, and if mainline MPICH
isn't supporting Windows anymore, then there won't be a whole lot of
development in an increasingly older Windows build. With the Open-MPI
roadmap, there's a lot happening. Would it be a better business model
for MS to piggy-back off of Open-MPI ongoing innovation, and put their
resources into maintaining a Windows build of Open-MPI instead?

Seems to average at least once a week. We also see regular petsc
support emails wondering why --download-{mpich,openmpi} does not work on
Windows. (These options are pretty much only used by beginners for whom
PETSc is their first encounter with MPI.)
