The first thing should really be to find out what Andy Koppe thinks about this, or is there any information about his whereabouts that says he's abandoned his project (other than the long silence)? And that question of yours is moot since mintty already is on GitHub, in 26 different forks. Most of them are "Automatically exported from Google Code." and some not even fully up-to-date. Then closest to Cygwin is the one from cygwinports (Yaakov). Two of them simply dropped the history and only three of them have non-trivial commits. > Personally I feel that a platform like sourceforge provides a > more professional project environment which would provide more > confidence in stable project development. > What do you think? Sourceforge has been deteriorating for at least the last two years and personally I don't like the lock-in that GitHub tries to sneak upon its users. I certainly won't register with GitHub just for reporting an issue in one of their projects.
