You can view the state of each package on https://cygwin.com/cygwin-pkg-maint > If so, may I apply for a maintainer of these packages? Everybody may do that.

Start here: https://cygwin.com/packages.html The orphaned packages are most of the time in a state which just has to be picked up, with cygport file (often an older state, just as the package itself) and buildable out of the box. So you start by making sure you can build the package with cygport, then you apply for maintainance on the cygwin-apps mailing list (which you should subscribe to as a package maintainer). Don't be shy to ask for help on this mailing list, if necessary. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
