The bugzilla is just an internal tool for the developers.
We don't need additional attention there.
The proper proposal and discussion is via the cygwin-apps@ list.

Anecdote: perl5 and postgresql development still works only via 
discussion and patches to the mailinglists. There's no tracker
at all.

As explained in the contrib guideline. To cygwin-apps@ of course.
