You can add your new packages to cygwin-pkg-maint since you have a login
account on sourceware.orgi with cygwin group access.

You'll need to use CVS:

cvs -d :ext:sourceware.org:/cvs/cygwin co htdocs

You don't add "-devel" or other subpackages packages like
libgl2ps-devel.  Just add the main package name.

In case anyone noticed: unison is a special case since new version
numbers are part of the package name.

To answer the general question: Anyone without a cygwin group account on
sourceware will have to send mail here to have one of us update
cygwin-pkg-maint.  Personally, I'd appreciate a patch but if you can't
do that, at least use the same format as cygwin-pkg-maint in your
request.
