If you're ready to maintain something, then you must have successfully
built the version of the package you want to maintain, applied any
necessary Cygwin patches, and gotten it to successfully work on your
machine.
Since you've done all that, I am touched by your concern that the rest
of us are running out-of-date stuff, and am glad that you are so eager
to contribute. I'm sure Eric et al. would be happy to accept the
assistance. PTC. (http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC)
Of course, if you haven't yet successfully built the version of the
package you want to maintain, haven't applied the necessary Cygwin
patches, and haven't gotten it to successfully work on your machine,
then it's a bit ludicrous to expect someone to name you the maintainer
of said package. You haven't shown any evidence of your ability to
perform in that capacity.
