I do most of the work on pygtk, but others do submit bug fixes. The work
on the gtk-1.2 based rewrite has been stopped. Instead, I rolled most of
the changes from the rewrite to the gtk+-2.0 based pygtk (which has been
held up a bit lately, as I am waiting for Tim Janik to finish off the
GObject signals).
The reason for stopping work on the 1.2 based rewrite was that the rewrite
would break compatibility, and be followed by gtk+-2.0 shortly after that,
which would introduce its own compatibility problems. By rolling the
rewrite into the gtk+-2.0 update, I only break compatibility once.

Some of these things would be helpful.

This year I have been fairly busy at university (it is my honours year),
which takes up some of my time, but I still work on pygtk.
