That said, if gtk2 turns out to be truly as low-maintenance as you
suggest, then it should be feasible for interested community members to
maintain it in the AUR without much difficulty I guess!
Considering the amount of emails about this, I am sure someone will pick it up.
As I also require it for a few old gems in the AUR I’d also be happy to (help) maintain it.
Kind regards,
