We have code that depends on platform. These are

Would it be possible to run tests on both Windows/Java7 and Linux/Java7 from
Gerrit.

I filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427529 to ask webmaster

for a solution

 

Oh, and give us some Windows users that test the code before
release or, better yet, test or produce patches in Gerrit.

any idea how to find them ?

 

Most (or all?) EGit/JGit developers are either on Linux or OS X and we
do smoke testing on Windows, but real testing gets done doing real work
with EGit, and for me Windows is not a part of that.

this seems to be true, I can say that all committers in my team are using Mac or Linux

 

Only testing releases means there is a turnaround of half-a-year from bug report
to the next release.

we release 4 times a year so turnaround is rather 3 months than half a year
