I think you must use a sourceware.org account name, which is a member of the cygwin-apps group. I'll see if I can tweak the URLs presented via gitweb to make this a bit clearer.

I've amended https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/ to include that suggestion and hopefully clarify things.

I'll be trying the push again shortly and will respond with any issues. Regards, ..mark
