I have been saying for several months now that I would like to set up a Cygwin buildbot--an important step in making that platform supportable again. I now have the infrastructure available to do so (Windows VM on an OpenStack infrastructure at my university). I wanted to wait until the tests on Cygwin were more stable, but since you allow unstable buildbots I could include it among them for now.

That would be fine :)

Is the buildbot setup documentation on the wiki page still accurate?

Probably not; the devguide should be more up-to-date: https://docs.python.org/devguide/buildslave.html

I don't know what unique challenges you may run into setting up a Cygwin worker, but please submit PRs against that page if you find anything to be lacking.
