I've deployed an update to calm which makes a few small improvements to the way cygwin-pkg-maint is handled:

* Lines starting with a '#' are now ignored as a comment

* There's now a simple facility for grouping packages:

Define a group with a line starting with '@', e.g.:

    @upstream_project Maintainer1/Maintainer2

Then @upstream_project can used in a package's maintainer list, as a reference to that list of maintainers.

This is all done in a single-pass parser at the moment, so group definitions must precede packages which use them.

(Adding this was partially motivated by the fact that I've been laboriously identifying and adopting packages which have X.Org as their upstream, but there's no way to record that as a group of packages for future reference)
