Hah!  You just fell into a trap.  The thing is, upstream of this theme has
gone missing (doesn't respond on any e-mail address nor github for months),
and while I fixed some GTK 3.20/22 regressions myself, I don't think I know
enough to do an adequate job.

So the downside of team maintenance is that you might get abused and called
on to take a look. :þ

(I don't see any dark theme that looks nice enough, thus maintaining this
one is probably worth the effort.)

Sounds good.

I've been skimming through the Salsa thread, but I admit I did not pay
enough attention to know what's the preferred new way to do such things.

It doesn't sound like $PACKAGE@p.d.o is good for something more than a lead
package and a bunch of addons for it -- but I might be misreading it.

So, for now I'll look at upstreamy parts of the package (like, Cinnamon and
XFWM pieces are missing in git, released as separate gnome-look.org
tarballs) -- let me know what should I put in the Maintainer: field.

Aye.
