Thanks.  Is this imminent or scheduled?  Is there anything I can do to 
help in the meantime?

I spent some time browsing the Cygwin site looking for information about 
package maintainers.  Most of what I found was how to become a package 
maintainer for an as-yet-unsupported package.  What I was really looking 
for was a list of the current maintainers, and possibly information 
about how to help get an already-owned package updated.

Maintenance of bash and make seem to follow very different philosophies 
for updates (the former seems much more active), am I mistaken?

Thanks again,
Rob
