Likely a long time for an unmaintained module that has not seen any code
activity for years: https://git.gnome.org/browse/pygtk/log/

Maybe you have some luck to find a developer on
https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list . 
However I don't expect anybody to create a new tarball of pygtk that
distros would pick up and ship, so not sure how much sense this makes.

This touches a general unsolved issue: Sharing the maintenance burden of
deprecated modules across distributors who ship enterprise / long-term
support versions. Same problem e.g. for gnome-vfs, libgnome, ...
I guess if somebody offered maintainership, nobody would refuse.
