I would also like to clarify that I have prepared the assembly instructions, and as soon as I get permission, I will send them.

Right now gedit is still being maintained, until it is no longer maintained, I think we'll be keeping with gedit until it is no longer maintained. No need to have two similar looking and in function apps at the same time.

On reddit I was asked to add a comment saying that I would be willing to support this package.

Again, my stance still stands. I rather not have duplicated gnome text editors, until gedit is properly deprecated, I don't see a need to have gnome-text-editor included in solus currently. Especially when the icons and naming schemes are relatively close to each other.

Closing per @ZachBacon's stance as he's the GNOME maintainer.
