Frankly I dont see how you can hold maintainer and not even update once a year.
Between
- coreutils
- bash
- git
- lack of a real package manager
all being way out of date I have already switched to MSYS2 once. The only reason

C:/msys64 on /usr
C:/msys64 on /
while Cygwin correctly does
C:/cygwin64/bin on /usr/bin
C:/cygwin64/lib on /usr/lib
C:/cygwin64 on /
