Sure, I'll keep that in mind, no problem :)

* The project must be free/open source software.

Yes, as you medntioned it is licensed as LGPL.

  * It must use GTK+/GNOME technologies. 

Yes it does: GLib, GObject, GIO, etc

  * It must be maintained, and already have had at least one public
    release. 

Yes, it is maintained and we made various releases already, last one on
March 13 [1]

  * To the best of your knowledge, it must not infringe on patents (most
    gnome.org servers are in the US). 

We don't infringe any patents (to the best of my knowledge)

If that's mandatory I think we could do that, I would have to check with
other developers though.
