This idea was discussed in this very mailing list very recently.
I'm not sure why you *have* to know that Corinna is the maintainer. If
you have problems with the package, you send email to cygwin-apps or
cygwin@cygwin. There's no need for you to enter into a private dialog
with the maintainer.
If you are really curious about who is maintaining the package then perusal
of the cygwin-announce archives would satisfy your curiousity.
It looks like we are going to need a cygwin-apps FAQ, soon, too.
