AFAIK (and please correct me if I am wrong), but the story is the same

  * What does this mean for Python apps and GNOME 3.0 / 2.31
The current plan seems to be that people should be transitioning away 
from pygtk to pygi. I guess people would love to see a similar gi# for 
mono bindings as well?

There is also the case of apps like Rhythmbox, Totem, Gedit, that
support PyGtk plugins

  * Will these apps lose plugin support this cycle?
I can't speak for all the listed apps, but gedit plans on using libpeas 
for plugin support in the gtk+-3-based branch, and use pygi. It also 
means breaking the compatibility with old plugins but otoh it's already 
broken for the switch to gtk+ 3
If for some reason the pygi state is not satisfying for the release, 
then it will still be possible to make a new release out of the gtk2 branch.
