The GTK+ signal mechanism is not maintained separately from
the rest of the GTK+ core. Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> has been
doing a large fraction of the maintenance on the core 
object-model parts of GTK+ recently, but questions should probably
be addressed here rather than to anyone in particular, since
there are a number of people who might be interested. (Myself,
for instance.)
