Hmm, gamin might have been maintained (at least relative to fam) at the
time it was introduced, but it does not look that way anymore, neither
upstream nor Debian TBH:

See f.ex.:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/219
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482704
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin (archived)
  https://people.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/sources/ (last release 2008)
  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gamin-list/ (last mail 2016)

I think gamin should be removed from Debian too.

Thanks,
Guillem
