I think poelcat means, it's incomplete so won't be discussed yet :-)

The test plan needs to tell people how to tell if the Feature is
complete and whether it's reasonable to tell people it's ready to use
when the next Fedora release comes out.  If the feature passes the test
plan then the Feature is announced.  If it fails the test plan, then
whatever is in the Contingency Plan would go into effect.

For MinGW, I'd ask, how do you know that the libraries you produce are
working?  What basic goals should someone be able to achieve when using
them?  What tasks can a tester do to show that someone wanting to
utilize the feature is not going to be frustrated and disappointed?
