I'm not sure this is the point or place to ask, but will their be a new
Windows port? If so, will the spell check function be included?

There are a couple of general problems which apply to the Linux versions
too  - they may well already be in your updates. Pan doesn't remember the
state of the posting screen. It has to be maximised every time it is used
- no big deal, but a nuisance nevertheless. This particular GUI reliant
wallah would like a configurable wrapping point (by number of characters),
to enable a wider choice of fonts to be used. Maybe that can already be
done in the config file?
