Thanks for your request. This sounds reasonable to me.
One question to consider is if this should be under the Windows
headline (which is reasonable since it is running under Windows) or
a separate headline. In some ways Cygwin behaves more like a
virtual machine running Linux (directory structure, line-endings)
than a normal Windows application.
I'm out of time for the moment but I'll circle back to the mail in
next week unless someone has a different opinion.

You may wish to consider listing the Subversion packages available under
Cygwin on your Apache Subversion Binary Packages web page at
https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
I think it makes sense to list it under the Windows heading to keep it
near the other Windows-based options.
[Please CC/Reply All as I am not subscribed: forgot to mention that!]
Curl lists it under but separate "Windows - Cygwin" which is similar to
their Linux distro listings and is probably clearer:
https://curl.se/download.html
and would allow for your selection from all Subversion binary packages
available on Cygwin to be listed without cluttering the native Windows
alternative builds.
The Cygwin project icon is available for display on your page from:
https://cygwin.com/favicon.ico
also as SVG from Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cygwin_logo.svg
The curl page also distingushes between 32 and 64 bits, which will not
be necessary for Cygwin after the next major release 3.4, expected
sometime later this year, which will drop official support for 32 bit
Cygwin and packages (possibly at the option of their maintainers for
some further transition period):
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2021-December/010338.html
although most releases and packages from current to ancient times (2003)
are still available to download and install on legacy Windows from:
http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html
and the maintainer already anticipates keeping 32 bit available from
there forever (depending on AWS!)
