I'm interested but I cannot even build it...
It seems too much task for me...
Many packages are related, and according to release notes https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/releases , there are many changes since the current cygwin version.
So I think adequately or more skilled persons should do...
And packaging woff2 https://github.com/google/woff2 seems necessary to prepare fontforge.
