How do I contribute a package? http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC78 If not, check it out. If so and you're "there" already, you just need access to upload your stuff. Corinna or Chris will need to provide this for you. Chris is on vacation until next week. Also, you should subscribe to cygwin-apps if you're not already.
