The last discussion of this that I can recall started here:

What's needed is for someone to adopt all of the GNOME components and
maintain them. As you'll see in the discussion I cited, I briefly
considered updating only glib2 and a few others, but then I decided
that I wasn't willing to take the responsibility of fixing/updating
other components that broke as a result of this. So I pushed what I
had done and left it there.
It would be great if someone would step up and take over, but I'm not
in a position to do that myself.
Since this is possibly the most important unmaintained package (it's #1
by dependencies on this list [1]), I guess I'll adopt it.
I see you got as far as 2.64.3 [2]. I'm inclined to deploy that (maybe
as test) and deal with the fallout myself, while I work on bringing it
completely up to date.
Any issues I should be aware or, or other problems you foresee with that
approach?
Nothing I'm aware of. Thanks for taking this on!
Ken
