My understanding matches yours, Paul.  Core does not want to *distribute* a mingw built python, but if the mingw community came up with a support strategy, including one or more buildbots building using mingw, I believe that we would accept the patches.  Basically, it has to meet the PEP 11 rules for supported platforms (including enough userbase to produce the people to maintain it long term :)
