I suggest creation of a list of package maintainers


Dear List,
    I notice that some cygwin packages are not current with the main
versions. I believe (as there is no CYGWIN-PATCHES directory in most of the
source tarballs) that the build is mostly OOTB. No doubt there are many on
the cygwin list like me, whose skills are not up to complex porting jobs,
but could help out with mundane maintenance. To help this, I suggest a list
of maintained and unmaintained packages. I suggest that all package
maintainers send a note (need not be any more than the name of the
package(s) you maintain) to me at max@bowshernet.freeserve.co.uk and once I
have recieved several replies, I will publish a collated list on the web.

!!! Comments? Do you think this would be a useful resource?

As I see it, the main use of such a list would be to prevent people from
stepping on each others toes regarding maintaining packages.

Regards,
Max.
