just FWIW, you did not actually propose anything, per se - a proposal would
describe a concrete actionable plan - this was more of a friendly nudge, and an
appreciated one

the conversation has been on=going since october when debian dropped support
for GTK2, which made gnu-smalltalk builds fail - the fact that there have been
no new releases in recent years was not a problem until then - debian could
have fixed their builds, if only they disabled its GTK support - the problem in
debian is that the package no longer has a maintainer

i dont believe that there is any concern of leadership upstream - the maintainer
is attentive and has been involved in the discussions - work has started this
year on a new release
