Review for Package: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

[Summary]
MIR team ack from my standpoint. Just a recommended TODO that will be great to 
look at, but not a blocker.

Recommended TODOs:
- There are a number of deprecation and compiler warnings. Mind reporting them 
upstream and check if any could create issues?
[Duplication]
There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.

[Dependencies]
OK:
- no other Dependencies to MIR due to this
   - checked with check-mir
   - not listed in seeded-in-ubuntu
   - none of the (potentially auto-generated) dependencies (Depends
     and Recommends) that are present after build are not in main
- no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
- No dependencies in main that are only superficially tested requiring
  more tests now.

[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
- does not have odd Built-Using entries
- not a go package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
- No vendoring used, all Built-Using are in main

[Security]
OK:
- history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not parse data formats
- does not open a port/socket
- does not process arbitrary web content
- does not use centralized online accounts
- does not integrate arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- does not deal with system authentication (eg, pam), etc)
- does not deal with security attestation (secure boot, tpm, signatures)

[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does not have a test suite that runs at build time, but have a manual test 
written in the description
- does not have a non-trivial test suite that runs as autopkgtest, but have a 
manual test written in the description
- no new python2 dependency

[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does not carry a delta
- symbols tracking not applicable for this kind of code.
- d/watch is present and looks ok (if needed, e.g. non-native)
- Upstream update history is good
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is good
- the current release is packaged
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
- no massive Lintian warnings
- d/rules is rather clean
- It is not on the lto-disabled list

[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors but some warnings during the build
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (as far as we can check it)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (usage is OK inside
  tests)
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-*
- part of the UI, but does not need desktop file
- translation present

Problems:
- There are a number of deprecation and compiler warnings. Mind reporting them 
upstream and check if any could create issues?
