I'm raising the bug reports for remaining uses of dbus-glib to important 
severity. It's now been 11 years since dbus-glib was documented as 
deprecated in its own NEWS file, and it hasn't got any better-quality or 
more-maintained since then.

It might be useful to note that since the initial MBF in 2018, the 
migration guide from dbus-glib to GDBus has moved to 
<https://docs.gtk.org/gio/migrating-gdbus.html>.
