I've had a gtkparasite fork going with GTK+ 3.0 support for a year:
https://github.com/hadess/gtkparasite/commit/770db8faacde1aba9eaf3e45da6e39e27b565859

And the requests to get GTK+ 3.0 support committed have fallen on deaf
ears:
http://code.google.com/p/gtkparasite/issues/detail?id=18

So the patches have been sent, just that they've been ignored.

Or we can rename it and carry on using a single shared git repo so we
don't block on a single person for maintenance.
