A new proposal to enhance SUDO for CygWin from GitHub in this thread, named TOUACExt:

• Automatically opens sudoserver.py.
• Automatically closes sudoserver.py after timeout (15 minutes default).
• Request UAC elevation prompt Yes/No style for admin users.
• Request Admin user/password for non-admin users.
• Works remotely (SSH) with admin accounts.
• Creates log.

Still in Pre-Beta, but seems to be working.
