I think you got the important stuff listed, the biggest blocker still
is mozilla, but it seems like it's slowly building everywhere. That
will help have yelp, mozilla-bonobo, galeon, and epiphany.
SJ won't be easy to get in since it's bound to libmusicbrainz and
friends.

Well, it's a nice goal to have, but I'd prefer going through the stable
GNOME releases and stabilizing them in Debian too prior to following
the development releases. I agree with trying to follow 2.13 in
experimental once we have stabilized 2.12 in unstable+testing. :)

I'd prefer going through 2.12. Ubuntu has 2.12 packages we can look at
any time we want. :)
