I think we could relax the ITP process if you wanted to do some bulk
moves but I would hate to have anyone have to support so many packages.
Even if I wasn't just concerned about your free time and sanity, I'd
be worried what would happen if you left the project.

However, if you really want to take on the task of doing a bulk move
we should talk about it in cygwin-apps.
