pygtk stats:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=pygtk

148 bugs, 56 without response, 2 patches accepted but not committed (for
four years), 40 patches unreviewed...

> From pygtk.org:
"Existing authors of PyGTK applications are also recommended to port
their applications to PyGObject to take advantage of new features
appearing in GTK-3 and beyond."
"PyGTK-2.24 will be the final major release of PyGTK. Additional bug-fix
releases may appear when necessary to maintain compatibility and
stability with the GTK-2.24 series."

Translate "may" here by "if someone steps up to do the work".

One fair argument is that it's a bit hard to know from the bugzilla
product page if maintainers have "resigned", but it just takes sending
an email to them to know that.
