You don't have to keep "your own" CVS repository.  You can just use the
one on sources.redhat.com and submit patches against that.

If you have a project that is active maybe it doesn't belong in
cygutils.  Maybe it should be a cygwin package.  I'd be happy to create
new directories in the cygwin-apps repository if required.
