How can we proceed to update keychain to 2.8.5?

There were several requests for updating it.
E.g.:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2015-April/220951.html
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2017-November/235124.html
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2024-April/255862.html
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2024-April/255916.html


As I wrote in the previous mail, I've already confirmed that the following
"keychain.cygport" file can successfully build an updated package:

```
NAME="keychain"
VERSION=2.8.5
RELEASE=1
CATEGORY="Utils"
SUMMARY="SSH key manager"
DESCRIPTION="keychain is a manager for ssh-agent, typically run from
~/.bash_profile.  It allows your shells and cron jobs to share a single
ssh-agent process.  By default, the ssh-agent started by keychain is long-
running and will continue to run, even after you have logged out from the
system."
REQUIRES="openssh"
HOMEPAGE="https://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo:Keychain"
SRC_URI="https://github.com/funtoo/keychain/archive/refs/tags/${VERSION}.tar.gz"

src_compile() { :; }

src_install() {
        cd ${S}
        dobin keychain
        doman keychain.1
        dodoc README.rst
}
```
