<http://cygwin.com/setup.html>. Normally, you'd propose the ITP on <cygwin-apps at cygwin dot com>, and go from there (it's a packaging and functionality review process, plus voting). However, your package is tied to XFree86, so, according to <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-06/msg00043.html>, it should be approved (voted for?) on this list (<cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com>). I'm sure people on cygwin-apps will review the packaging anyway if you submit the ITP there.
