Proposal: Files that will be uploaded to sources.redhat.com unmodified.
HOLD-UPS: What you need to finish! What we are waiting for.
Maintainers of existing packages are eligible to vote on ITPs and new package
proposals. Once a package has been proposed, a cygwin-apps subscriber must
review it, and may point out problems or suggest changes. Each package must
receive a "good to go" (positive, thorough review) and must have all problems
addressed before being accepted.
Problems can be addressed either by announcing an updated version or explaining
why the problem is not an issue.
