Have you heard of the website called FreedomSponsors? I think it is an
excellent place to put bounties on solutions for bugs, issues and
features. There is currently three bugs open for GIMP with bounties on:
http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/?s=&project_id=130&project_name=GIMP

If a developer were up for working on integrating GIMP with Microsoft
platforms, he could propose to work on a bug over at freedomsponsors
similar to how Nicolas Robidoux did:

Just thought I wanted to chime in about that. :-)
