The particular package maintainer would have to do the upgrade.

You can always install it yourself from the terminator web site. Most python code works out of the box on Cygwin, though it's always possible that a package tries to do OS-dependent stuff and gets confused under Cygwin as to whether it is running on Windows or Linux, depending on how it asks questions of the underlying system.
