If you want to give it a whirl, feel free, Hans.
Just so everyone is clear here... The current bash maintainer is Ronald Landheer-Cieslak, who was still around and answering bash questions as of Feb: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-02/msg00263.html>. He has said repeatedly that he has been busy and without access to a windows machine, which is probably why there have been few bash updates. On the other hand, he has also said nothing to indicate that he does not wish to continue maintaining bash. Furthermore, threads in the past have expressed the fact that 2.05b has been very stable and both Ronald and others have agreed that any major changes in bash would have to be done very carefully so as not to cause instability. I have CC:d this to the cygwin-apps list which is where discussion of packaging should take place.
