Hi Corinna,
Bill and I worked it out on a different thread of this conversation.  I 
currently have a public repo mgeisert/cygfuse on GitHub.  That seemed to be 
sufficient to me as maintainer.  Does it need to be moved under cygwin/ ?  If 
yes, it looks like "Import Repository" is a way to do it.

I was planning to make sure the package Bill supplied met all the requirements 
for a Cygwin package.  I figure it's real close but there was something I wasn't 
sure about and needed to research further, then real life intervened.  Something 
to do with where its cygport file was getting package source from.
