Looks like the Windows-style paths support has been accepted as an upstream patch. When can Cygwin pick this up?
When make 3.82 comes out.
Thanks. Is this imminent or scheduled? Is there anything I can do to help in the meantime?

I spent some time browsing the Cygwin site looking for information about package maintainers. Most of what I found was how to become a package maintainer for an as-yet-unsupported package. What I was really looking for was a list of the current maintainers, and possibly information about how to help get an already-owned package updated.


Contacting package owners is done through this list.  The Cygwin package
owner for 'make' has already replied to this thread.


Maintenance of bash and make seem to follow very different philosophies for updates (the former seems much more active), am I mistaken?


They are two different people.
