This needs to be in cygwin-pkg-maint and we'll need information as per:
https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html .

Also, FWIW, this package didn't really go through the vetting process of
getting the required number of votes.  I don't object to it going in but
I don't think we want to get into the habit of short circuiting
published procedures without at least acknowledging that we are doing
so for a reason.
