You can clone the build repo from 
https://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/qscintilla2 and push to the playground 
branch for CI testing.

When you become maintainer, change https:// to ssh:// in .git/config, merge 
playground to main, and push.
If the build checks error free, you can deploy from main using the CI job 
number: this is now the preferred approach, as everything is done publicly, 
rather than using local scripts, builds, checks, and uploads.

Use `-p` for available packages you probably have not yet installed, with BREs 
rather than shell patterns: drop the root `/` as that is not in package tars:

$ cygcheck -p 'usr/lib/pkgconfig/Qt5\(Designer\|Gui\|Widgets\).pc'
Found 8 matches for usr/lib/pkgconfig/Qt5\(Designer\|Gui\|Widgets\).pc
