One point is, I don't think it's a good idea to maintain a whole lot
of packages which I only slightly understand.  Perhaps later.  The
other point is, I'm already maintaining nearly 30 packages in the Cygwin
distro.

However, everybody enough motivated to become a package maintainer can
do so in the Cygwin distribution.  It's actually a community effort.
