Hi Marco,
unfortunately it will not be updated shortly.
The package is currently without an active maintainer
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2020-March/039877.html
Are you eventually interested to adopt it ?
I am not an expert for GTK3 but I maintain the windows build of a
largish open source project which uses GTK3 and has many CI runs a day
each with a freshly installed cygwin, so I find out quickly if e.g.
dependencies break. I am also roughly familiar with the cygwin packaging
process.
So yes, if nobody else is maintaining it, I can do so. It is due time to
give back a little bit to the cygwin project which does help me a lot
(how can one survive on Windows without it?). I can also take care of
the gtksourceview cygwin package (not mingw), although I have much less
exposure to if this will work or not.
And I guess I should take care of base GTK3 as well then, both cygwin
and mingw (of cause only if the cygwin package doesn't have a maintainer
already).
What are the formalities?
join cygwin-apps mailing list, so you can ask anything
about packaging there.
read the guide
https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html
install cygport, look at the previous source package,
as most of the time things did not change too much
and when you are ready make a formal ITA (intention to adopt)
similar to ITP
