We'd also need somebody knowledgeable with the OpenVMS platform to keep things working when the build changes. I assume OpenVMS still uses X11, so there's no need for a separate windowing system, but of course every platform has its own quirks, so everything that GTK depends upon will need to work on OpenVMS.
