Now is a good time to help. There is new API in gtkmm that needs to be
wrapped. Try to build gtkmm in jhbuild, for instance, and notice the
warnings about unwrapped functions. You can also look at the list of new
API in the latest GTK+:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/api-index-2-18.html

This gives you some idea how to wrap new API, though it's generally
clear from looking at the existing .hg/ccg files:
