You may take it. I have modernized the build in git:
http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/keepassx
I suggest you bump RELEASE to 2 and build it yourself, then proceed with
ITP.

I don't generally bother with prereleases where a stable version exists.
If the major distros are using 0.4.3 (Fedora is among them, I just
checked), then I would just ship that and deal with 2.0 when it goes
stable.
