I am aware.

https://github.com/cygwin
is currently just used only for 2 specific cygwin sources
plus the mirror of cygwin lib itself.
So we have not yet a central repository for the
patches and build scripts.

Of course Yaakov's cygwinports contains a large chunk
as he is the maintainer of ~ 70% of all packages.
