Will nobody comment on this? ---- I think the bottom line is that the the core cygwin developers are good at their jobs because they are strongly technically oriented and, *usually*, people focusing all their energy on their craft don't have time to be "social". Thus they are not inclined to have a desire to engage in such a venture. But this is just my impression. Besides, what would they say "cygwin is great, use it, we'd love you to use it, but patches will be more appreciated?", it really isn't their public style(well the last part might be :-)... but that's just my uninformed 2 cents. You wanted an answer.... I've never met any of the cygwin developers in RL, and can't really speak for any of them.
