I don't think they'll do so. They love their CSDs and apparently don't care much
about other desktop environments besides Gnome Shell. We can expect some
help only from Debian Gnome maintainers (though I don't know why no one of
them replied yet).


BTW, Arch Linux guys already made use of your patch [1] (they have an older
version though). So far, there are no comments on missing application-specific
controls that were located on the headerbars before.
