The core code repo is in git on sourceware.org alias cygwin.com: https://cygwin.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git The patch and commit messages, and ChangeLog and NEWS files often contain references to the OPs reporting problems. There are no issue or bug handling components for git. There are bugzillas that have been write-only since about 2012: https://cygwin.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=cygwin if you report there just remember to email this list with a link to the bug. There is also savannah.nongnu.org which might be usable, as most non-GPL/AGPL/LGPL contributions, are BSD licensed to allow modification for proprietary uses. -- Take care.
