I read it as, unmaintained because it's (claimed) upstream no longer
maintain it?

It would be helpful for those, like the OP, who don't or can't search.
It is mentioned that radare had it as a dependancy - but I can't see
what radare now uses in it's place.
I'll never miss gtkdialog because I use kdialog, but zenity is popular
and probably useful as a replacement. And I'm confident a quick search
of debian packages would yield others, otherwise the OP could always
repackage upstream for his Mint/Antix remixed "distro".
NOTE: I'm not the OP, please quote more carefully.
Kind regards
