Hello,

I'm interested in becoming a package maintainer for passwdqc:
https://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/

It is a password/passphrase strength checking and policy enforcement 
toolset, including command-line programs (pwqcheck, pwqfilter, and 
pwqgen), and a library (libpasswdqc).  Its primary author, Solar 
Designer, is a renowned authority on password security, having also 
created the famous John the Ripper password cracking tool and multiple 
widely used password hashing implementations.  The PAM support is not 
involved in this Cygwin package but I personally find the utilities 
quite useful in their own right and have been using them under Cygwin 
for some time.

This would be a new package for Cygwin but is already
packaged in other distributions:
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/passwdqc/passwdqc/
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=passwdqc
https://software.opensuse.org/package/passwdqc
https://pkgs.org/download/passwdqc
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/passwdqc

It is released under essentially the ISC license.

The current release can be downloaded from:
https://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/passwdqc-2.0.2.tar.gz
https://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/passwdqc-2.0.2.tar.gz.sign (PGP signature)

It can be compiled on Cygwin with only minor patches to the Makefile.

.hint and .cygport files are attached and can also be found here along 
with built packages:
https://github.com/crd477/passwdqc-cygport

Now that I have access, I can also put these into the cygwin git 
repository, I just wasn't sure if it was acceptable to do so before 
sending the ITP message.

Thanks, and take care...
