GNOME in BLFS is currently at 3.6.2 - latest available stable release. Some components are out of date a bit - these got released after 3.6.2 release. As for GNOME and BLFS, I gave up on updating it. I'll stick to 3.6 - I still use it. I don't like the direction where it's going and I switched to KDE, as you noted. If you like, you can step in and upgrade/add components when they get released. I can always help in core components since I always build them. I'll always build the following components: dconf (for IBus - There's KDE applet for that), GConf, gnome-keyring (beats kwallet, has auto unlock capability via PAM), GTK+ including all deps, Rhythmbox (requires lot of GNOME components, including WebKitGTK+ and GStreamer 1.0. Also, Brasero is needed for CD burning plugin), And, of course, the applications Evince, Gedit, Eog, File Roller, Gcalctool, Vinagre (nice VNC client), as well as their deps. > To conciliate my needs and contributions, I can, if interested, help or > maintain with GNOME.
