You can view the state of each package on
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-pkg-maint

Everybody may do that.  We're happy if packages are maintained!

Start here: https://cygwin.com/packages.html

The orphaned packages are most of the time in a state which just
has to be picked up, with cygport file (often an older state, just as
the package itself) and buildable out of the box.  So you start by
making sure you can build the package with cygport, then you apply
for maintainance on the cygwin-apps mailing list (which you should
subscribe to as a package maintainer).  Don't be shy to ask for help
on this mailing list, if necessary.


Thanks,
Corinna
