I suspect simply because nobody has packaged one, and somebody has to do
the work to make it available.  I doubt anyone would object to you
submitting an Intent To Package per https://cygwin.com/setup.html.

If that's the only reason, I could certainly look at packaging it.  I guess I'd
like to hear from Marco first though, the gnupg maintainer, to tell us if there
isn't some other reason.



for what I know gpg-agent belongs to GnuPG > 2.0
while we have only the classic gnupg-1.4.19

If I remember right GnuPG > 2.0 requires memory protection
features that do not exist on cygwin.
But I could be wrong.

Marco
