Mike Kestner is the maintainer of Gtk#. However, I agree. If he does not have
time no more, then someone should become the new maintainer of gtk#.
Gtk# can be found here at Github. You will see changes have been made for gtk+
3.0. And you will see custom files have been moved to partial classes.

We have been waiting a long time for a preview of Gtk# 3.0.

Subject: Re: [Mono-list] GTKsharp 3
I have managed to gain the following information from this bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648121
The banshee port to GTK# 3 is complete they are just waiting for a release of
GTK # 3 (as of 3 months ago, from Comment 8)
Mike is the maintainer of GTK# but he doesn't have any time to work on
it (according to Comment 7). I'm not sure who this Mike is but if he doesn't
have time to maintain it, is the project then in need of a new maintainer?
I still have not been able to establish where the GTK# 3 code is hosted. If I
knew that I could start trying to port my application, submit bug reports and
even contribute any fixes I require.
I would also like to know who is in a position to issue a release. I can't see
why a release shouldn't happen straight away so that us app developers and go
ahead and attempt to port our applications. The most effect way to kill a
opensource project (or any project) is to never release.

If everybody thought like that, nobody would use any library or framework at
all.
