Well, that wasn't quite the response I was expecting, but thanks very
much for helping!
I have added 'virt-manager' to your packages.
So, cleaning up the final python2 bits, I got around back to looking at
this again. I've made minor updates to python-libvirt and virt-manager,
which gets something which runs.
But it just sits there, apparently trying to connect to a local QEMU
hypervisor I don't have, but that's what the previous, python2 version
does as well...
I'm guessing that perhaps the only sensible way to run this on Cygwin is
with the '--connect' option to a remote hypervisior. Or maybe it's
totally broken.

$ virt-manager
Right. The real problem here is that virt-manager is still using
python2, which long past EOL, and is planned to be removed.
The current plan, per [1] is for virt-manager to become uninstallable
after this, and see if anyone complains.
If virt-manager is important to you, perhaps you could help us bring it
up to date?
