We can't take the packages if you're not willing to maintain them.
We already have enough packages where the maintainers disappeared.

Not necessarily.  If the package is in a good shape, has no known
security issues, and works fine with the latest Cygwin, you're good.
Other than that, just keep an eye on the Cygwin ML if somebody reported
a problem with your packages and see if you can lend a hand, maybe.

This is a generic problem.  Maintaining packages does not actually cost
a lot of time, unless you're trying to stick to the bleeding edge or
try to maintain too many packages.  But people still shy away from that
without even trying.  That's pretty disappointing.
