The worst part is the 20 minute delay which means that if here is something wrong and you don't know what it is and need to try various things via trial and error each try takes 20 minutes so its not surprising that it can be extremely time consuming to set up. I did set it up a long time ago so perhaps the situation is better now but my experience at the time was more like Christophe's. If the 20 minute turnaround cannot be solved then I think the best solution for Windows users would be excellent step by step documentation on how to mirror your repository onto R-Forge from googlecode and elsewhere so that Windows users can do their commits on googlecode (assuming that mirroring your repository is possible and is easier than the commit procedure and does not involve the 20 minute delay).
