Bug#992870: transition: GNOME 40 (libmutter-8-0 and friends)

I am wondering if we can do a transition on gnome web and also what other applications have been transitioned over to gnome 40 and GTK 4.

I think we're ready for the libmutter-8-0 / gnome-shell transition when
the release team is.

wayland-protocols and pango1.0 are in testing, gtk4 should migrate today.

All of these are staged in experimental.

The ones I know about are
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fudd.debian.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fbts-usertags.cgi%3Fuser%3Dpkg-gnome-maintainers%2540lists.alioth.debian.org%26tag%3Dgnome-shell-40&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7Cc7ca50e1fc2e446eab5808d970c80d96%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637664826785050179%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=2%2BmEHwAVaTFYaVGz%2BXf4eTfN1s8K2P3OSBgTosLLRjw%3D&amp;reserved=0
(plus a few that I maintain myself, which are fixed in experimental already).

The closed bugs on that list are already fixed in either unstable or
experimental; the ones in experimental will just need a re-upload to unstable.

The packages with unclosed bugs on that list are likely to need temporary
removal from testing to let gnome-shell migrate. A few are probably obsolete
and will go away permanently via RM:RoM:
gnome-shell-extension-remove-dropdown-arrows is the only one I'm aware of
right now.
