According to Francky Leyn on 6/25/2007 6:16 AM:
>> You are omnipresent in all many newsgroups?

This is a mailing list, not a newsgroup.  And I'm not on every mailing
list, just the ones relative to my current volunteer capacities (although
you are correct that it means I happen to track both coreutils and cygwin
issues).

Cygwin isn't the GNU project - and we are willing to help people out who
are willing to put forth an effort to volunteer.  I became a package
maintainer several years ago when I noticed that diffstat wasn't provided
on cygwin, and it has all grown from there.
