Axel, I would suggest not fully splitting the main gtk2hs repository.
For the core bits that have the same maintainers and release cycles
there is probably very little advantage to splitting. The disadvantage
would be that you could not do cross-cutting patches/changes. If you
still want to build them all together then you'd need extra management
scripts to get all the repositories (see for example the complexity the
ghc tree has to deal with by having independent libraries).

That said, it may make perfect sense for some of the non-core parts that
have obvious maintainers and could have separate releases. Similarly
probably it makes sense not to aggregate even more components into the
main repo.
