If your repo is on github anyway it would be much simpler to define
the source as a git repo. Rather than SRC_URI, just use something
like this:
GIT_URI="https://github.com/mintty/mintty.git" # Just as example
# Either...
GIT_TAG="your release tag"
# ...or...
GIT_REV="matching sha1-hash"
inherit git

No, the VERSION and RELEASE fields define how tohe package is called
when you do `cygport package'.
Did you read Cygwin's Package Contributor's Guide?

It's really not that complicated to do it right.
