I read that there's no need of reference because gtk3 reference is enough, well I'm a gtk3 and gtkmm3 developer over a pygtk developer (my most used app is www.giuspen.com/cherrytree) but still I miss pygtk reference when doing something in PyGobject.

I'm curious where you read this as I think the idea should be squashed. Or perhaps the statement is being misinterpreted? The current gtk3 C docs/annotations should be "enough", but using them to generate python specific docs still needs to happen (more below).

I read it here https://live.gnome.org/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting

and exactly the section is:

The C API by and large remains valid in Python (and other languages 
using the GI bindings), in particular the structure, order, and data 
types of arguments. There are a few exceptions which are mostly due to 
the different way Python works, and in some cases to make it easier to 
write code in Python; see below for details. But this means that you can
 (and should) use the normal API documentation for the C API of the 
library. devhelp is your friend! 

I'm happy anyway that something is moving either in the reference and in the porting to windows.

Cheers,
Giuseppe.
