Yes, we definitely welcome bigger code and feature contributions!
However, please let me make clear that this comes with some caveats: We
cannot accept low effort code contributions, which cannot keep up with
expectations and quality assurance and only cause additional burden on
review, testing and long term maintenance. Having some deeper
understanding in Windows system programming and filesystems is therefore
a must.

We do have some capabilities here in house as well, since required for
secure boot. Not sure if it would be possible to use this for a windows
native client for PBS as well. @Fabian maybe you have more insights and
can comment on that?
Best regards,
Chris
