You're invited to become Cygwin package maintainer yourself, then you
have the perfect right to update your own packages in what you perceive
as a reasonable timeframe.  And you can collaborate with other
maintainers on combined updates of dependent packages.  As user, you may
ask for an update, but it's up to the maintainers to decide what a
reasonable timeframe is.
