Sorry for the trouble. I'm trying to follow all the directions I find in several places across 3 organizations (Ubuntu, Gnome, Debian), plus asking people in 3 or 4 different Gnome & Ubuntu related IRC channels, but I'm not always sure what the right thing for to do is.
That Gnome maintainer didn't ask me to do anything in relation to fixing this bug, did he? He mentioned that he backported changes that fixed the memory leaks. So the leaks are fixed on the 3.36 branch in the vendor repo. The reason I submitted a patch, however, is that Gnome hasn't cut a new release of the 3.36 branch with the backported fixes yet. So what should Ubuntu/Debian do about the memory leak in the meanwhile? From what I understand of Ubuntu & Debian's package maintenance practices, patches are created to fix bugs in upstream code until upstream releases fixes for them. Is that correct? I'm happy to do what Ubuntu would like in this situation.

I have to manually kill it about once a day, when I start to feel everything slow down as the OS starts to swap. Actually, I tracked down and fixed a few leaks in the code, and it looks stable so far. I'll submit a patch soon, as well as send the fix upstream to Gnome.
