And presumably you won't argue with reference at the Cygwin list page which
says

"If you have any questions or problems with the mailing lists, see the Sourceware mailing list FAQs. "

and points you at a location which specifically answers your question.

The sourceware faq is mentioned *twice* at http://cygwin.com/lists.html so
your claims that it isn't mentioned anywhere would seem to indicate that you
didn't search too hard.  Ditto, your claim that nothing is mentioned in
the headers.
