Actually, not quite that simple.  Let's try again:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=bin%2Fscript
->
PACKAGE=util-linux
->
http://www.google.com/search?q=%2B${PACKAGE}%2Bsite%3Acygwin.com+%2Binurl%3Aml%2Fcygwin-announce%2F2006

The above does tell you who to thank, and also provides a useful recipe
for figuring out who the recent maintainer of any given package is (though
2006 may be too recent -- if there are no matches, try 2005, and so on).
