To make things maybe a bit more clear: this very list our discussion is taking
place is dedicated to the development of the "core" Git, and Git-for-Windows
has started years ago as what one would call a continuous friendly fork of
Git. May changes implemented in GfW get upstreamed into the "core" Git,
but GfW still maintains a set of patches atop of Git, as well as a hefty
amount of infrastructure code (because in order to properly function under
Windows, Git requires lots of supporting software which presence is taken for
granted on Unix-like systems but does not normally exist on Windows).
Maintaining a Windows installer binary is also a task.

In other words, GfW has quite specific requirements to still be a separate,
though very close, project, and because of this is has its own separate
supporting infrastructure: a project and issue tracker on Github and its own
communication venues. These venues are what I and someone other earlier in
this discussion have pointed you at.
