I'd also want to see another pass over the MSYS2 + Git for Windows patches
to see which if any of them are applicable to Cygwin proper.  I know
someone just did the spawn argv[0] patch, which also highlighted the
potenital difficulty in tracking down authors of old patches for a new
Signed-off-by line in the commit message.

I know there are few patches in git-for-windows on top of msys2-runtime,
and a few of them seemed like "how could this not be a problem for Cygwin
too?"  A couple around mbs stuff come to mind.
