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.

That's a great change. Thanks!

Would adding glob patterns help, too?  Kind of like

   aspell
   aspell-*


Well, maybe.

That's a more complex change, as the code just does a simple lookup by source package name at the moment.

It would also introduce the possibility for ambiguity. e.g. What is the following intended to mean?

aspell-*         Aye Person
aspell-gibberish Anne Other
