Maybe Unmaintained except Base (i.e. alternatives crypto-policies) or 
"toolchain" defined as cygport and cygwin deps and build deps (i.e. bzip2 cocom 
docbook git-archive-all robodoc); maybe also all their deps and build deps, even 
Devel and Libs?

Any of us or sourceware accounts could be hacked (possibly even targeted), and 
systems used to disrupt Cygwin processes, if someone had some dispute, wanted to 
be nasty, to see if they could do it, or made a mistake.
