Post with subject e.g. "python terminator upgrade Attn: maintainer" and ask for
an upgrade.
In general, specific subject lines will get more readers, as those who package,
support, or develop with relevant interests may be attracted.
Given that the release is over five years old, it is possible that the
maintainer no longer uses Cygwin and/or terminator.
Looking at the latest release, it looks like at least one Python package psutil
would need customized to build on Cygwin with python OS info, and a few may need
upgraded, from python2 to 3 and/or GTK 2 to 3, by a Python module developer who
understands the Python OS and Gnome interfaces:
https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/blob/master/INSTALL.md
although from what I can see, it may be less effort to eliminate psutil from
terminator than to port psutil to Cygwin: requiring that module seems overkill
for a terminal emulator.
