If nobody else wants, I'll apply for next maintainer.
With all people using it, we could manage some useful
documentation, then updates where needed. The library
uses design patterns that once documented will make
developers understand it faster. The m4 macros ease
maintenance and readabiliy, truly; I think there's
nothing wrong about them, except one has to know about
m4 :)

libsigc++ became a stand-alone library because it was
useful for other projects. Stripping it down for
GTKMM2 own purpose is just like integrating it back to
the GTK+ wrapper: then why keeping it as stand-alone?

Either you take the core features you need and make
them part of GTKMM2, or you help making a core within
libsigc++. Think about widgets, the needed widgets are
included a project, while other are forgotten. Here
it's a little different: there's a core with slots,
signals and connections, surrounded by useful optional
functions.
