Sorry, there isn't really anything to discuss on the Debian side. The
Debian maintainers don't have the capacity to fix this issue
downstream. There are about 5,000 open bugs between the Debian GNOME
and GNOME Extras teams, which is too many for us to manage. We simply
can't keep feature request bugs open unless the team is actively
working on implementing those features.

Thank you,
