If possible I'd like to see this added back. I'm one of the maintainers.

I do realise we'd not added much support for new features in Gtk+ 2.8
and above but it does build and work against those versions. It is in
fairly widespread use in the Haskell community and we ship the windows
installer along with Gtk+ 2.10.x.

We are planning to add more of the newer apis but we are taking some
time to switch our binding autogeneration system from using the Gtk#
scripts to use the new .def files that pygtk and other bindings now use.

Once we've got that done, generating the bindings for the new apis
should be straightforward.

So basically I don't think we're sufficiently up to date with releases,
use and maintenance to justify remaining listed.
