Ok, so the plugin lifetime is until Lua 5.1 EOL or distro removal.

The windows (like Mac) build system is the work of one person, so they needed 
to have time to update it.  IIUC the new system will allow Geany and tools and 
dependencies needed to build for windows to be dockerised so its easy to build, 
and I think even cross build.

Neat.

Spyware needed!? :wink:

I'm speaking for @kugel- for which he may shout at me, but IIUC Peasy does not 
use Autotools or Meson (see https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2761) so some 
help porting would probably be of greater assistance.  My 2c is just add it to 
the meson build.  Also a simple process for upgrading it from upstream should 
be documented as we are moving towards for ctags and Scintilla.
