It's actually not clear that the gmtp bug is invalid.

gmtp uses a particular set of libmtp API calls that aren't functionally
compatible with Android 4.x devices. libmtp has a separate set of calls
that are compatible (these are what go-mtpfs and my  gvfs mtp backend
use). So, gmtp would need to be updated to use these different set of
calls before it will ever work, unless the libmtp authors decide to
reimplement the broken calls in terms of the working ones, which is
theoretically possible, but, I think, unlikely.
