This idea was discussed in this very mailing list very recently.

I'm not sure why you *have* to know that Corinna is the maintainer.  If
you have problems with the package, you send email to cygwin-apps or
cygwin AT cygwin.  There's no need for you to enter into a private dialog
with the maintainer.

If you are really curious about who is maintaining the package then perusal
of the cygwin-announce archives would satisfy your curiousity.

It looks like we are going to need a cygwin-apps FAQ, soon, too.
