That seems like a reasonable timeframe. You're invited to become Cygwin package maintainer yourself, then you have the perfect right to update your own packages in what you perceive as a reasonable timeframe. And you can collaborate with other maintainers on combined updates of dependent packages. As user, you may ask for an update, but it's up to the maintainers to decide what a reasonable timeframe is.
