Q1: Does a new maintainer typically put out a new package version upon take-over, or can he/she run with the existing version number and just keep bumping the build number (e.g. for bug fixes)?
As needed. If you are not changing the upstream source just bump the cygwin revision
Q2: Does the location hosting a test build for external review have to be the same location used to host final builds?
https://cygwin.com/setup.htm Test build are reviewed. Final package are uploaded by each maintainer on www.cygwin.com
Q3: What kind of external access is typically used for hosting final builds? I've run a micro-ISP that allowed on-request FTP access, by IP address, to customers, but have not needed to run anonymous FTP to this point. What about SSH/SFTP? Is there such a thing as anonymous SFTP? Does HTTP and/or HTTPS access need to be provided?
Upload instructions: https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html
Detailed suggestions for that last question would be welcomed. I'd like to make it least-hassle for reviewers and whatever a source install of my packages would require, but still keep the hosting machine as secured as can be managed. ..mark
