I would prefer not to have monkey-bubble in gnome-games. This is nothing
against monkey-bubble, but the current list of games is unsustainable from
a maintanence point of view. My intention is to do a slash and burn job
on the games in gnome-games in the 2.7/2.8 timeframe[1] and then would be a
good time to put it in gnome-games.

If there is a large amount of interest I am prepared to be beaten
into submission on this one since for the 2.5/2.6 cycle it won't mean 
any serious work for me. It's just the future I worry about.

This assumes that the monkey-bubble authors want to do it this way, they
have never approached me. Then again, I have never seriously approached
them.

[1] Probably a split into gnome-games-core for popular games I can maintain
and gnome-games-b-sides for games I won't place any priority of maintaining.
But that is a discussion for the future.
