Hi, Let me reply to https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-gnome-maintainers/2018-August/145477.html
This is the embarrassing part where I admit that I am not subscribed to the pkg-gnome-maintainers list because it sends a lot of mail which I already get more conveniently from subscribing to https://tracker.debian.org/teams/debian-gnome-team/ I am subscribed to https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/ though. You should discuss your proposals with the new gconf maintainer. I believe the Debian GNOME team really does want to get rid of gconf as soon as we can. In fact, we had removed all gconf reverse-dependencies from Buster already (except for Eclipse which is a huge headache), but the new gconf maintainer has now let several back in for Buster. I think his plan was to try to remove gconf during Bullseye though. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
