In my case, 2.6 in general just fell off the radar. 2/3 of the 2.6 Windows
buildbots are fine, with the failing one being the case of a very slow VM
machine and a time sensitive bsddb test. I looked into it this afternoon and
it's something we can improve test-wise -- I'll see if I can work up a
patch. It's not a problem with the module itself.

As for getting the attention of more Windows devs, there are a few names I
see pop up from time to time that would be nice to have on board if they
have the time. I'll see if I can reach out and gauge their interest level.
