I would say postgresql is only lagging a few months because the maintainer is 
busy with many other packages:

With ~1.9k open issues, 155 pending PRs, and ~100 releases in 2 years, wait for 
it to stablize before looking at it.

Problem is most packages are not written to really be portable, including 
ability to be cross-compiled, and languages especially are often written as 
Ph.D. projects, or academic projects to provide a subject for papers and a book 
by (a) professor(s), and abandoned once the developers get jobs or move away 
from the originating institution.

Feel free to port them, but if they don't use autotools or cmake, libtool, and 
pkgconfig, expect a lot of work to get them running in the Cygwin environment.

See the reference to the person trying to port Rust needing to get LLVM 17 ported.
