Well, I don't know what Andy really wants. I pinged him May 2015 and he replied a couple of days later. Life was taking a toll, so he was not actively working on mintty anymore. He told me he'd have a look into providing a new mintty version. I pinged him twice since then, once in October 2014, once in January 2015. I'm willing to ping Andy again (done with this mail), but if he doesn't reply we should really go forward I think, even if it's unfortunate, Andy being a nice guy. > And that question of yours is moot since mintty already is on GitHub, in > 26 different forks.
