They're a developer and want to either
1) make sure that a change they're doing won't break GTK 2
or
2) want to check a fix to a bug that only shows up with GTK 2?
If the plan is to have 2.0 be Qt-only, maybe that's not important, but, if the
plan is to have 2.0 be Qt-only, maybe 2.0 won't even have GTK+ code at all,
including code for --with-gtk, --with-gtk2, --with-gtk3, or even --with-qt (if
2.0 is Qt-only, then "don't build with Qt" means "don't build Wireshark", and
we already have --disable-wireshark).
If the plan is to have Qt be the official GUI but to leave the GTK+ code around
in case anybody wants to build it, people will presumably still be filing bugs
against the GTK+ 2 code if it's left around, so, unless we get rid of GTK+ 2
support, we may still want the ability to build against either version, for
support purposes.
