Code maintainence is an important part of any project's life cycle & is often the most dreaded part by developers. Majority of them think that adding new features is _the_ most exciting part of the project cycle. However, this phase is good (& very important) for the developers who are in the process of learning the toolkit's internals - like me. I would suggest that when the decision about hiring developers is made (or discussed), maintainence work should be strongly put forward... specially since we will decide to branch/develop for the 3.0 branch in future. I would be happy to volunteer towards maintainence of GTK+.
