There's no maturity requirement as such. For a package such as cyg-apt that
doesn't exist in other distros, you have to get 5 positive votes from current
package maintainers. A clear explanation of what cyg-apt does that setup
doesn't, would probably go a long way towards that.
Thanks for
Correction: setup doesn't require Cygwin to be closed if not working on
core packages. That makes sense.

We have loads of suggestions for changes to Cygwin or setup.exe.
Where can I get the these suggestions ?
The mailing list archives.

As a layman (not a cygwin developer or anything), I have to say this

I'd rather see the common code put into a library (and available in
both cygwin and mingw flavors). Then it would be pretty easy to
have a Cygwin::Setup perl extension and command line tools using it.

Hi brother, thanks for all you reviews and suggestions.
I like yum and apt-get too.
CygWine still in somewhat early age, I will consider your proposals
