I appreciate that you still care about getting these specific issues fixed, and I also hope they fix them.
It still feels a little odd to me though, because the initial blog post is an analysis of where Gnome's committers come from. I'm not sure how these bugs tie into that. Do you make a comment to draw attention to these issues whenever the terms "Gnome" or "GTK" show up in a thread? If so that seems like a lot of dedication to a desktop environment you don't even use.
