It's a great idea but as you mentioned on IRC, we really have no way to know how representative subscribers to the users list are. For example maybe only X out of every X^Y Geany users subscribes to the mailing list, so even if we ask and N people say one thing, still the vast majority of users might be indifferent or completely disagree if they were asked/subscribed.
Well... We got >100k installations on Ubuntu and Debian together (popcon).
If you would use my "90% rule" you'll need 11k+ Windows users to justify full support and the same experience across platforms.
You might also say that Windows-support must live in "contrib", and not "core" ...
Btw: 90% is just a random-ish number.
