gtksourceview3 was superseded in 2018 by gtksourceview4 (a new major
upstream release, but still using GTK 3). There's a porting guide here,
which is mostly "stop using deprecated APIs" plus a few function renames:
https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/gtksourceview/gtksourceview5/porting-guide-3-to-4.html

gtksourceview3 is unmaintained and hasn't had an upstream release for more
than 5 years, so it would be great if the remaining gtksourceview3
applications can move to gtksourceview4 before trixie.

This particular package uses gtksourceview3 indirectly via the C++ binding
libgtksourceviewmm, which seems to have become unmaintained upstream (see
#1079433). If it is desirable to keep this package in Debian, then someone
with an interest in gtksourceview C++ bindings should take over upstream
maintenance of libgtksourceviewmm and finish releasing a 4.x version.

Thanks,
