It seems to me like this is the whole point of writing an open source project with git and GitHub.  It's decentralized.  The only difference between the github.com/openexr/openexr repo and someone else's fork is the level of trust.

If you want a branch with Visual Studio projects, make you own and tell other people about it.  You don't need permission from Piotr et al.  If what you make works well, people will use it and maybe someday it will get pulled back into the original.  I've got VS2008 static linking versions here if anyone wants them:

I can't blame Piotr & co. for not wanting to deal with maintaining projects for every build system out there.  The people using those build systems should be the ones maintaining the projects, and GitHub allows you to do just that.
