design discussions and so forth, then cygwin-developers become on topic,
and you should join. Again, from the same page: "You can subscribe to or
unsubscribe from any of the above lists by sending email to
themailinglistname-subscribe@cygwin.com or
themailinglistname-unsubscribe@cygwin.com respectively."

expedite things).
