I think you are missing the point.

On my memory there have been two release announcements
mentioning several memory leak related fixes.

On the other hand, gtk+ FAQ "5.28. Why does GTK+/GLib leak memory?
claim gtk+ does not leak memory - the "It doesn't" part.

So I'm waiting ON the "It doesn't" part to be fixed.

Because, as release announcements show, it does.

Should I file a bug report against gtk+ website, specifically, against
the FAQ 5.28 ?

As I wrote earlier, I would feel having moral right to write that a suite
doesn't have memory leaks provided in, say, a year there has been no memory
leaks confirmed bugs, and I would write the claim more cautiously anyway.

Regards,
  Sergei.
