"I'm trying to set up Travis CI as suggested on the github repo but that doesn't currently test on Windows"

Unfortunately, it does not. That's why I have at least one VM set up with Strawberry on Windows to run it by before I put up to the CPAN. Although this is better than nothing, it still leaves you prone to having newer modules that are dependencies that you write yourself that are installed, so there is some risk of still having a failure or two when it hits the Testers.

Doing what you can still helps though :)

There's no doubt that it takes experience to learn, and new authors particularly have no choice but to get their feet wet (I did). From learning PAUSE, to naming modules, to uploading, to managing and keeping your namespaces clean and removing files that no longer need to be there... all the way to taking over another module of someone else who abandoned it.

However, anyone experienced with either CPAN or managing a server infrastructure should be aware of the costs of doing so. Saying it's "volunteer" as an excuse is asinine.
