Nobody interested in upgrading bash? There is major update 4.4 -> 5.0 and 5.1 is in progress. It seems that there are nearly nothing breaking changes https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2019-01/msg00063.html.
But I know bash is core dependency for many and there is no activity in upstream cygwin to port bash 5.0

bash was upgraded into 5.1 - thanks to Lazka https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/pull/2265

Since no one keeps this list updated I'd suggest to use https://packages.msys2.org/outofdate instead, in case anyone wants to help.

So I'm closing this.
