Just a reminder for everyone here, the current release team policy for things
related to mono [1]:

 New modules may be accepted into the desktop or admin releases with
 a dependency on gtk#/mono, but any modules accepted into either of
 those release sets without a dependency on gtk#/mono may not gain
 one without going through the proposal process again in a subsequent
 release.

I'm nearly sure at the time, I was willing to either not have this whole
paragraph or to replace "gtk#/mono" with "gtk#/mono, python, etc."
because it makes sense for other languages too. Maybe I'm just
misremembering all this and other release team members will correct me
in this case :-)
