This looks good.  I just have a few minor comments.

- The SUMMARY should generally not start by repeating the package name. "A tool to write command line option parsing code for C programs" suffices.

- I suggest adding

  HOMEPAGE="https://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/";

- The build produces a source patch because of changes to test files:

>>> Creating source patches
 tests/test_conf_parser_ov2.c |    2 +-
 tests/test_conf_parser_ov3.c |    4 ++--
 tests/test_conf_parser_ov4.c |    2 +-
 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)

  You can use DIFF_EXCLUDES to avoid this.

- There are two failing tests that you might want to look into at some point.

- I noticed that your github repo contains all the build files. Once you become maintainer, you will be able to push to the official source repo for the package (see https://cygwin.com/packaging/repos.html). This should not contain only the files needed for building the package (i.e., only the cygport file in your case). Pushing to that repo triggers an automatic build (see https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi).

I'll go ahead and add you to https://cygwin.com/cygwin-pkg-maint, but I'm not sure how to parse your name. Should it be "Rafel Amer" or "Rafel Amer Ramon" or something else?

Thanks for becoming a maintainer.

Ken
