I'm confused by your question.  Let me pretend it's a statement.

I think I see what you mean.  I guess I've read the page more as
what "GNOME" is rather than what it uses.  And I am not aware of
contributions of GNOME people to CUPS, so calling it GNOME technology
might be a bit over the top.  But I may very well be
corrected here.

Similarly, we also use Apache HTTPd for gnome-user-share,
but we wouldn't consider it "our technology", I guess.

No. But seeing those three items just seem to be a little lost
or displaced.
I think GDM is much closer to to X11 and Wayland than to 
CUPS and GNOME Keyring ;-)
