Dan, I realized that (even though it probably wasn't apparent from my
message). However, cygwin.com a.k.a. sources.redhat.com a.k.a.
gcc.gnu.org, and it hosts much more than just cygwin lists (e.g., gcc).
So, to avoid any potential confusion, the above still stands.

FWIW, if you implement Chris January's suggestion of monitoring the
cygwin-apps list, the subscription information could be found in the
"X-IsSubscribed:" header (once CGF turns it on for the cygwin-apps list,
and except when people munge their "From:" addresses and the like)...
