I am not an expert for GTK3 but I maintain the windows build of a 
largish open source project which uses GTK3 and has many CI runs a day 
each with a freshly installed cygwin, so I find out quickly if e.g. 
dependencies break. I am also roughly familiar with the cygwin packaging 
process.

So yes, if nobody else is maintaining it, I can do so. It is due time to 
give back a little bit to the cygwin project which does help me a lot 
(how can one survive on Windows without it?). I can also take care of 
the gtksourceview cygwin package (not mingw), although I have much less 
exposure to if this will work or not.

And I guess I should take care of base GTK3 as well then, both cygwin 
and mingw (of cause only if the cygwin package doesn't have a maintainer 
already).

What are the formalities?

Best regards,

Michael
