The Cygwin mailing list is actively used for both announcements of updates to packages (many of which I do not use myself, but that is another matter) and to answer questions and solve problems. In that respect the whole project seems healthy enough. That said, I have seen several questions about packages like CMake lagging behind the developments and not all questions get answered properly. Perhaps it does not hurt to ask about the plans regarding the packages we are interested in in the context of PLplot.

Regards,

Arjen
