Most newcomers introduce themselves on kde-devel, or you could pop onto 
freenode (#kde4-devel) and ask where the Windows developers hang out.

Freenode: http://www.freenode.net
KDE Mailing Lists: http://www.kde.org/mailinglists/

You probably won't get a lot of support there, currently we're trying to 
build KDE as /native/ Windows binaries, not Cygwin binaries. Maybe you 
could talk about making them 'Cygwin aware' though? At any rate, this 
should probably be moved to kde-devel AT kde DOT org.

A native Cygwin build is likely to be a major undertaking, since you 
have to start with dbus, Qt4.3 and several other libraries that have 
AFAIK never been tried on Cygwin, and as I've said, you're likely to be 
the only one working on them.
