Yes. Actually, my main Mailman 2.1 development platform is Cygwin, but I gave up on trying to run MM 3 under Cygwin.
I don't recall all the issues, but there were several around file names with unacceptable characters for Windows (there's one in MM 2.1, but it's easily worked around).
The thing about Windows is that we're using several *nix-isms in process management and possibly in other places. I have no burning desire to try to make these Windows compatible.
The real problem with running Mailman on Windows, at least for real lists, is you need a viable mail server. It seems to me that most people who might consider running Mailman on Windows do not have a machine with a fixed IP with full circle DNS and a non-generic host name and preferably an IP not in a 'home use' block. These things are needed if you want large ISPs to accept your mail.
