I'm the author of an 
[application](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.inform7.IDE) that I spent 
time a few months ago to port from gtkspell to gspell, because gspell was 
claimed to be a more modern replacement for gtkspell. (The app-author hat is 
the hat that I'm wearing as I write this, not my GNOME contributor hat.) 

This request is quite upsetting to me, because I want my application to have 
GNOME-endorsed dependencies where I can be reasonably sure that if one 
maintainer loses interest, another will eventually come along and pick it up, 
or at least be able to make interim releases when asked. I try to avoid as much 
as possible dependencies that are maintained by just one person. I would feel 
quite burned if gspell were to move from the former category to the latter.
