If you're ready to maintain something, then you must have successfully 
built the version of the package you want to maintain, applied any 
necessary Cygwin patches, and gotten it to successfully work on your 
machine.

Since you've done all that, I am touched by your concern that the rest 
of us are running out-of-date stuff, and am glad that you are so eager 
to contribute. I'm sure Eric et al. would be happy to accept the 
assistance. PTC. (http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC)

Of course, if you haven't yet successfully built the version of the 
package you want to maintain, haven't applied the necessary Cygwin 
patches, and haven't gotten it to successfully work on your machine, 
then it's a bit ludicrous to expect someone to name you the maintainer 
of said package. You haven't shown any evidence of your ability to 
perform in that capacity.
