If you are no longer interested in being a maintainer for these (or all 
of your) Cygwin packages, please let us know, so we can update our 
records and stop bothering you about them!

I might look at some of the more important ORPHANED packages, as time 
permits, and some of these are candidates for removal if not updated, 
but obviously adoptions are welcomed!
