Note the thread starting at
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2016-03/msg00056.html,
especially https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2016-03/msg00061.html

Bottom line:  You're welcome to use the Cygwin or Cygwinports github
orgs, depending on the project you maintain.  But, this is a free
project, so if you don't want to, you don't have to.
