Assuming that you're addressing this to "me" (i.e., Cygnus) I can offer
that we have talked about putting cygwin on the sourceware site under
CVS.

There are few reasons why this hasn't happened so far: 1) We're lacking
resources for this, 2) I've seen very very very little evidence that
anyone was willing to contribute source to the project, and 3) I don't
want to do this until we can get everything coordinate with my gcc and
gdb counterparts (the gdb part will be a easier since I manage a gdb
group).

Right now, we're in "wait and see" mode due to our Redhat merger.  I'm
hoping that when the dust clears we'll have a nicer cygwin site set which
will have convenient access to source for at least the core cygwin
distribution and for ported packages as well.
