Congratulations - great news!

You may clone these repos:

	https://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/llvm.git

	https://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/mingw64-x86_64-llvm.git

browse (gitweb - no search):

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

	https://cygwin.com/git/?p=git/cygwin-packages/mingw64-x86_64-llvm.git

also (cgit with search):

	https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/llvm

	https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/mingw64-x86_64-llvm

and as a maintainer (of other packages), you can modify and push to the 
playground branches, which will run Scallywag CI jobs;
and/or as these packages are orphaned, you may adopt them with an email to apps
"[ITA] mingw64-x86_64-/llvm", preferably including links to repos and Scallywag 
CI jobs, then as owner modify and push to any branches.
