We provided both clients in one package back then. The reasons for
removing the gtk3 client were "it was too experimental" and "Latest
update of gtk+-3 libraries seem to have broken our           gtk3-client
quite completely" (your quote from #766185)

I don't mind packaging the gtk3 client separately, just make up your
mind because it must be supported if it should be part of a stable release.
