Personally, I thought that Danny already was mingw maintainer, togeather 
with cgf.
Looks like its just cgf officially.  Based on cgf's comments on cygwin 
mailing list I think Danny being official wingw maintainer would work.

According to Danny, on cygwin mailing list, 'most' of the patches are in 3.4 
- The stuff thats left needs significant reworking to be made acceptable for 
general consumption.  I dont think that lack of being official maintainer is 
holding him back.  He also said he would be releasing his 3.3 patch set 
'shortly'.  I fairly regually build gcc 3.4 - (under cygwin) - but have been 
somewhat lax in my bug reporting recently.
Infact this reminds me that i need to put the finishing touches on a set of 
3.2.3 gcc packages and go back and offer to be cygwin gcc *package* 
maintainer.  (not gcc maintainer for cygwin, be a while if i ever make it to 
that)  If i dont hurry up Danny will have his 3.3 patches up before I get 
done :P

Gareth - needs to work on better time organisation skills.
