This is quite interesting.

I do not have a win32 based OS to build and run imapfilter (I also
don't have a clue about win32 programming), so I don't think I can
maintain the win32 port of the program.

I think that keeping the main distribution and any ports of imapfilter
separate is the way to go.  So the primary goal of the main distribution
is imapfilter to build and run under BSD and Linux, and keep the code
as portable as possible in order to be easy to build under other platforms.
Ports of imapfilter are then assigned to whoever is interested maintaining
them (similar to how the OpenSSH portability team works), and are
available through imapfilter's home page (binaries and source code).

Of course, I don't know if anyone is really interested in taking care of
a port, and in this case the win32 port.
