As you adopted the package, you will first have to do a clone in your Cygwin
cygport directory from:

https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/wxWidgets3.0.git

YMMV, but after cloning adopted packages, as I have a Cygwin ssh alias defined,
I setup my .git/config for each package like:

$ tail +0 .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
        ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = ssh://cygwin/git/cygwin-packages/curl.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
        remote = ssh://cygwin/git/cygwin-packages/curl
        merge = refs/heads/master

and run ssh-agent and ssh-add to provide my passphrase for uploads and pushes.
I believe you may use e.g. ssh://cygwin@cygwin.com/... instead.

If you are the original ITP packager, you have to init the package, set the
[remote "origin"], add and commit the cygport and any other files you want to
publish, then push to create the Cygwin repo.

I should now add [branch "playground"] entries to make testing appveyor CI
builds cleaner and easier, as I usually don't do this stuff enough to remember
how to do it, so I muddle through, and then forget what I need to add to my
notes on packaging.
