I see the Git Repo for "the core Cygwin libraries and utilities (Cygwin

I am looking at possible work within *COREUTILS*. Obviously, there are
significant deltas /versus/ GNU Upstream.
Can you point me to the active repo for coreutils?
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/coreutils.html
Just to save net traffic, I'll dare post a second related question in
the same message:
Is *NEWLIB* intended to be a "drop-in" replacement for *GNULIB*?
No.
https://sourceware.org/newlib/
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/MODULES.html
Roughly:
Newlib target is to provide a system libc.
Gnulib target is to provide a modular library implementation for
software that aim on multi-platform builds.
