Good; thanks for stepping up to keep the maintanership of pygtk going. I've pushed Owen's patch from bug #660216, as it also contains fixes for two other leaks. I've also pushed a little update to pygtk.doap to list John Stowers as the last active maintainer, per Dieter's mail (https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2013-April/msg00085.html). If you want, I can guide you through the basic process of making a release. I tried a quick "autogen.sh" of pygtk and it doesn't work, but I didn't actually check to see if it is due to me not having some of the dependencies for building Gnome 2 stuff, or if pygtk's autofoo is just bit-rotten. I guess that would be your first task - sorry that it's not the most fun thing in the world to start with, but a maintainer's life is hard :) Also, please read the following: https://live.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner https://live.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner/Releasing https://git.gnome.org/browse/pygtk/tree/docs/random/release-checklist It may all seem overwhelming at first, but it becomes second nature after the first two or three release tarballs you make. Please ask John Stowers if he'd agree to pass maintainership on to you, starting with making a release tarball. The MATE team is interested in keeping the maintainership of Gnome 2 going, so if you are not in contact with them already, please do so! I'm sure they can help you with infrastructural stuff.
