I am just sharing my experiences so far. I tried to help them to fix
issues in mdm and my commits were reverted, even though other people
agreed with me.

I am just worried with the quality of packages in Debian. I choose
Debian over everything else because of its high quality standards.

Hmm, are the GNOME developers eventually dropping nautilus altogether?

Sure, but that doesn't mean we should introduce more mess. We should
rather clean up what's messed up.

I don't know, shouldn't these users just not use Linux Mint itself
then? The version in Debian will be quickly outdated then anyway, so
that most users will probably complain.
