It requires setting up ssh/cvs on your machine, filling out a form, and getting sysadmins involved. We're going to have to automate this process. However, I have privately approached a few people about being package maintainers when I see someone showing an interest on the cygwin or cygwin-developers mailing list. I have a couple people in various stages of setup now. When they seem to be ready to go, I'll be announcing their new roles. I have asked for a new "cygwin-apps" mailing list to be set up so that this kind of thing can be discussed there. For now, it will be handled the same way as cygwin-developers with each subscription requiring approval and only subscribers capable of posting. cgf
