The best way to initiate discussion may be replying to a previous post about a package in the relevant group with patches (see below), or an email with a new well written, specific subject. All participants are volunteers, with busy jobs, lives, or families, who also take trips and vacations. Some maintain dozens, hundreds, or thousands of Cygwin packages, may participate or work upstream, in other distros, packages, products, or standards groups. You may have months but they may have only minutes or seconds for a topic - respect that: "We are now living on Internet time" - Andy Grove, Intel, 1997. The relevant groups for patch submission and discussion are cygwin-apps for apps, cygwin-patches for winsup..., newlib for other library files, to which you must subscribe, or the upstream maintainer via email on the source site, normally using git format-patch/send-email against the latest sources, with well written, specific subjects and commit log entries. If the upstream source site has public email archives, issue or bug tracker, you may be able to search for relevant Cygwin or maintainer content, or you may have to ask the maintainer if an issue has already been raised with them. -- Take care.
