It has been reported to me that dbus-glib is a deprecated library and is essentially unmaintained.
Quoting from the above report:

For most purposes, the recommended replacement for dbus-glib is the GDBus family of APIs in GLib, found in <gio/gio.h>. This does not add an additional dependency, because dbus-glib already depends on a sufficiently new version of GLib. A porting guide is available in the GLib documentation: https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch35.html. Practical examples of porting from dbus-glib to GDBus can be found in the git history of most older GNOME applications.

What are the plans for Hexchat? 😺

I ported half of it a while back: ec4d3de

The server half was more annoying so I never finished it. Patches welcomed.
