Your suggestion is not realistic neither fair for the Gnome users:
"I invite other people to make contact with their distros and find out if 
/why all of the bindings will be packaged"

This would never work. It takes a big number of people pounding with emails 
the distro makers for them to listen. But even if that was to happen, most 
distro makers would need *guidance* and explanation of what is what, and why 
it is the way it is and how to proceed.

*I have, you just don't want to listen.*

The Foundation should act, and /not/ the random Gnome users you are asking 
for to do so. It is /not/ the user's job to beg for class library support 
just because the Gnome project one fine day decided to create bindings and 
then some third party devs bite it, and created usable apps with these 
bindings that users would want to run. Sure, the user can decide to simply 
avoid these apps, but then again, 1/4 of the Gnome experience is degraded, 
isn't it? So again, everyone loses.

For the last time: This is a job for the Gnome/Foundation or whoever in the 
Project handles that stuff. Bindings are pretty "low level" software for 
most non-programmer users and they can't quite handle them their head. We 
are not talking about a new email client or a new skinable PostIt app that a 
user can easily describe or pitch to a distro decision-maker on a forum. Get 
real.
