You really need to work on your expectations.

We're all volunteers.  We're not getting payed for what we're doing.
We're not working for your personal happiness.

Stop telling us what we're supposed to do for you.  It's pretty
annoying how you're exerting group pressure with (per last counting)
five accounts to let us do your bidding on the Cygwin mailing list.
It was enlightening seeing you starting to do the same on the portable
OpenSSH developers mailing list just three days ago.  You're certainly
not making a lot of friends this way.

Getting on-topic:

There's no cygwin-utils-extra package.  If you want that package in the
distro, do it yourself and become Cygwin package maintainer:

https://cygwin.com/packages.html

As for your other wishes changing Cygwin to your supposed needs.  Roll
up your sleeves, dive into the source code and provide patches yourself:

https://cygwin.com/contrib.html

P.S. I can't speak for my co-maintainers but I, for one, will only
     reply to one of you in future on the mailing list.  It's your
     choice which account of your little crew will do the communication
     in future.  Accounts doing *active* work in the project, i. e.,
     provide code for Cygwin or maintain packages, are exempt.
