the source packages [1] are much less

$ grep zathura cygwin-pkg-maint
zathura                                      Yaakov Selkowitz
zathura-cb                                   Yaakov Selkowitz
zathura-djvu                                 Yaakov Selkowitz
zathura-pdf-poppler                          Yaakov Selkowitz
zathura-ps                                   Yaakov Selkowitz

$ grep girara cygwin-pkg-maint
girara                                       Yaakov Selkowitz

the others are subpackages: built at the same time and packaged 
separately, see
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/girara-src.html

Look at the source package as starting point for an upgrade,
usually nothing change to much and you can make yourself familariar with
cygport, the standard tool in cygwin for build and package programs.
