The Mint extensions for GNOME Shell look interesting, although I’m not
into nostalgic retrofeatures. Feel free to package them, people on
#debian-gnome can give you advice on this matter.

OTOH you will find vigorous opposition if you’re trying to package MATE
until this fork has shown strong commitment to a complete maintenance,
including that of components no one wants to touch, like gnome-vfs or
bonobo.

(Also, I don’t get the “tablet” mention. One of the weaknesses of GNOME
Shell compared to e.g. Unity is precisely its behavior on tablets -
which is why this is something upstream is working on.)
