Nope.  Daniel's back.  Sorry that I never made that clear.

I'd like to explore new methods for getting packages into the
distribution, however.

Possibly we need a gdb packages steering committee which decides on
these things.  It could have rules like "a package needs a simple
majority vote to be a candidate for inclusion".  I'd envision seven
people on the committee.  I have names in mind but the only two
definites are really Corinna and me, both of whom would also have veto
power.

I'd also like to see a formal justification for why a package should be
included, remembering that we have a "software" web page at cygwin.com
which can be used to advertise packages that aren't quite up to snuff
for the cygwin release.  I think we have accepted a couple of packages here
which really only deserve to be advertised on the web site.
