I don't know nsis; however, the maintainer of syntax/nsis.vim is Alex
Jakushev (which you can see by looking at the
.../vim72/syntax/nsis.vim). He hasn't changed it since 2004; you might
do better by emailing him directly (again, look at the syntax file for
his email address). Now, that was six years ago, so he may have "moved on".

You might do even better if you can come up with a patch to send to him.
