As Cygwin is an unfunded all-volunteer project, there are no expected response 
times for issues or release schedules, and responses and releases happen 
whenever package maintainers have sufficient interest to read the list or reason 
to issue an update, and enough free time in their personal lives to respond or 
complete the build, testing, documentation updates, packaging, and release 
processes. Some of us try to help them out by trying to provide timely and 
useful responses with suggestions or workarounds.

As you are a member of an organization with funding, it is up to you to do 
whatever your organization requires in terms of timing and can support 
internally, including using snapshots, or building your own package releases 
from sources.
