I just started looking at Rust and like what I see so far. I may be able to help; I worked on the Windows port of Go and put together the MinGW build environments as well as the binary installers.

If someone can point me to a list of outstanding issues/requirements and a contact person it'd be much appreciated. Note, I've already found this https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/8996 and this https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/1237.

I'm assuming the workflow notes at https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Notes are up to date?

Thanks for offering! I'd suggest that you make a post to the mailing list for maximum visibility:

https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev

HN comments and IRC chats tend to get lost in the shuffle without always attracting the attention of the devs.

I personally don't know what's necessary now, but if you feel like joining #rust or #rust-internals on irc.mozilla.org (which I recommend :) ), then vadimcn and klutzy are the people to talk to. (IRC handles match their GitHub names.)
...doing it now.
Installing Go on windows was a breeze.. thanks =)
