From <http://cygwin.com/lists.html>:

cygwin-apps: a subscriber-only list for discussing packaging issues 
regarding applications that are distributed with the Cygwin DLL. If you are 
maintaining or volunteering to maintain one of the packages that is 
distributed with the Cygwin net releases you should be subscribed to this list.
