Hi Yasushiro,

usually you ask the maintainer on this list and wait for the feedback.

However if you are interested to become the single maintainer or the
co-maintainer of any package, you can do so on the cygwin-apps mailing
list.
Which packages are you interested in ? We have plenty of them
and new maintainers are always welcome:
