I've just pushed an update for python 3.8 to the playground branch at

https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/gobject-introspection.git

That should be a good starting point for you.

I played with gobject-introspection-1.64.1 last summer and updated the patches. 
  If you're curious, you can find what I did in the 1.64 branch at the same 
source repo that I cited above.  But in order to build it, I had to build and 
install an updated glib2.0, since it required glib2.0 >= 2.58.0.  (I also used 
pip to install python-markdown, which was a new build requirement.)

Maybe I'll take a little time right now to push my glib2.0 work in case someone 
braver than I am wants to pick this up.  I'm afraid to do it for the reason 
Achim gave in his recent email in this thread.
