It's not a matter of being interested or not but rather the fact that
geoclue project has always been a freedesktop project and this app
being part of geoclue. I actually wanted to at least move bugzilla to
GNOME but Bastien argued that it wouldn't help in getting geoclue
integrated into KDE and other linux-based OSes or to get contributions
from other communities.

Anyway for the record, I'm not exactly against hosting this on GNOME infra. :)
