Patches are always welcome :-)

Unfortunately, if you want to provide patches which add new functions
to Cygwin you'll have to sign over the copyright ownership of your code
changes to RedHat before we can include your changes in the main source
tree. Your employer may also have to send us a disclaimer stating that
they have no claims to your contribution. You can find the standard
assignment form under http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/assign.txt

I hope, that will not discourage you. The same procedure is needed
when contributing to FSF code, so...

Thanks in advance,
Corinna
