For Debian GNOME, there is https://bugs.debian.org/883440 Thunderbird
doesn't show there since it's not installed by default.

Debian MATE is blocked by https://bugs.debian.org/883411 That bug &
the other murrine bug needs escalation but I wasn't sure how to go
about that.

(I'm not sure how many other gtk2 packages are pulled in by Debian MATE.)

I'd like for gtk2 use to be significantly reduced in Bullseye, but
someone will need to file a lot of bugs soon for that to happen.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org;tag=pygtk
is one part that seems doable to me for Bullseye. I earlier had 2
tiers of packages there with many less used and less significant
packages being marked as RC unless the maintainer complained. (Many of
those packages are unmaintained really.). But Adrian objected to my
reasoning (old, unmaintained, not popular, and uses pygtk without a
maintainer to care or object to the removal. A partial pygtk removal
in Buster could make the Bullseye task easier.)
