I do not see you doing any package activity release, so you should

such comments are perfectly acceptable if maintainers are acting in bad

the
person in question is a maintainer of an important package, for example
GCC or
Ruby, it is not acceptable for them to let a year or 2 go by without an
update.
I am still waiting that you show your code.
Jon Yong is doing an hell of job taming a monster program,
and your comments are NOT appropriated.
if they are worried about bugs, cygwin has a system in place for many
years now
to deal with that. you make a package "[test]", so that people can test
it. if
a maintainer cannot faithfully keep up with a package at least once a year,
that person should step aside as im sure other would be willing (myself
included) to take up maintainership of said packages.
I do not see a huge queue of volunteers, and I do not see your
maintaining efforts.
Please note that sometime, things are broken upstream
and it takes time and it could require not available capability to
solve the issues.

sorry, did you really just invoke fortran as a serious argument? fortran is
arguably the oldest programming language still in use, if you can even
call it
This only show how ignorant you are about programming language and
their usage. Clearly you are not an engineer.
