This looks ready to migrate, I think we are just waiting for 
gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast (1 day remaining) at which point 
the whole group should be able to migrate:

* gdm3
* gnome-kiosk
* gnome-session
* gnome-shell
* mutter
* gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast
* gnome-shell-frippery

The release team could apply some age-days to 
gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast if you want to get this done.

gnome-remote-desktop already migrated, which surprised me, because it 
has a versioned Breaks on gdm3 (but of course it's possible to install 
the new g-r-d onto a minimal system, just not onto a complete GNOME 
desktop). With hindsight, perhaps we should have given it an 
artificial/unnecessary B-D on libgdm-dev to force them to migrate 
together?

Thanks,
