Note that we still have Windows Tinderbox builds.
https://ci.libreoffice.org/ lists the Windows tinderbox builds done by tb72
and tb73. We will always have some platform related problems (e.g. compiler
or some specific system conditions) that will slip through our normal
tinderbox builds.

Developers don't need tinderboxes for getting feedback about their fixes.
Everything that will usually be discovered by one of the tinderbox will
also be covered by our gerrit buildbots and the Windows tinderboxes
configured in jenkins. The tinderbox page that you use is our old CI page
with the non-TDF infra managed builds.

As can be seen by our jenkins instance this is already handled. Of course
the availability of daily windows builds is another point.
