Speaking for myself, as one of the package maintainers: I'm not
open to, nor willing to be, "re-allocated".  I *volunteered* as
a package maintainer in order to fill a particular position in
the Cygwin ecosystem.  I will continue to fill that position for
so long as it is interesting and fun for me to do so.

Someone trying to "re-allocate" me would immediately make the
position non-interesting, not-fun, and result in my volunteering
my time elsewhere.
