If we have someeone who is volunteering the time to make it work, not just today but in the future as well, we shouldn't rule out re-adding support. I've taken a glance at the patch. There are probably a few things to quarrel over--for instance, it looks like a site.py change will cause python to print a blank line when it's started, and the removal of a '#define HAVE_FORK 1' in posixmodule.c---but this still doesn't mean the re-addition of DOS as a supported platform should be rejected out of hand.
