cygwin@cygwin.com is the email address for reporting all manner of problems.

Telling people that they must subscribe before they send a general
question or bug report is not a good idea.  It also isn't a good idea
for gdb, gcc, sourcenav, etc. for the same reason.  Cygwin is not
unusual in this respect.  All of the sources.redhat.com mailing lists
get spam.  We block A LOT of it already but some gets through.
