Hi,

Thanks for offering to package and maintain this package, and apologies 
for the delay in responding.

Notwithstanding [1] (which needs updating), I look for 2 things in an ITP:

- a statement that the software uses an acceptable open-source license
- the cygport file (as an attachemnt or link) so it can be reviewed and 
tested

If you're still interested in progressing this, please provide the 
cygport file for discussion.
