It has many users and few contributors. Probably that's because Red Hat is involved and people, unconsciously or consciously think that somehow Red Hat is or should be footing the bill. Or, maybe it's because the expertise level isn't high enough since we're talking about a Windows environment.
Well, since you asked (indirectly), I'll give my opinion:
There have been several instances when I wanted to try to fix some part of Cygwin myself. The biggest problem I have is my extreme laziness. I wish I could just download the 'src' package, configure, make.
Could the w32api source be bundled into the source package so we(the royal we) don't have to download some arbitrary version of w32api, and then do some renaming and moving?
gmane doesn't allow that.P.S. Re: IDontLikePersonalReplies at hotmail dot com -- wouldn't a "Reply-To: cygwin at cygwin dot com" be better?
