The python2 removal efforts are upon us and with that gnome-doc-utils is about to get removed (as it has been superseeded by yelp a very long time ago so porting gnome-doc-utils isn't considered at all). The gnome-system-tools package is basically the sole remaining blocker for this now and it needs active effort to get ported over to yelp. Discussion about this in #947530 A plan for how gnome-system-tools is going to maintained is desperately needed at this point. As there has been no followup on the above 2 year old message it's unclear to me if such a plan exists, but my impression is that very little has happened in the past 2 years despite many outstanding really bothersome bug reports against this package. If a plan is not presented very soon it looks like the only viable option is to finally file a RoQA: RM bug report to get gnome-system-tools removed from the archive, which I'm going to do unless there's any evidence of active maintenance. I've already notified the sole remaining reverse-dependency, parl-desktop, in #888675. I'm also CCing the reverse recommends which should either drop their recommends or need to step up and help out if they want to see gnome-system-tools package continue to be available in the debian archive.
