This is all a bit too cryptic for me.

Whose release? If you are talking about a cygwin release, yes, I'd
imagine one would want to put in public patches that are missing :-)
Assuming you are talking about a cygwin release, is there a schedule
for that? Aside from the 6-month-old public patches, is anything else
currently planned? Is there a publically accessible CVS or cygwin-bash
mailing list that one can track what's this other stuff might be?

What's PTC?

I'm lost as to what you are referring to. What's method #1 and what's
method #2.

You mean I can do a diff -Naur? Or are there patches available with
the release from the previous release?
As I wrote above, I find this a bit cryptic. It sort of sounds like
you are saying that if I find any patches that I think might be useful
for cygwin I should send them along and if I want figure out what changes
cygwin has made to bash, I can diff the source whenever a release
comes out.
I was hoping for better coordination here.
