Noone is working on a fix.

Good suggestion.

You don't need cvs to grab the code. Simply run setup.exe and check the
tick box for src in the appropriate package (cygwin itself). You may
need to click on show full first to see the cygwin package.

mkpasswd doesn't change very often so you should be able to submit a
patch of the tarball source without trouble.
