gnome-extra/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect doesn't seem to use nautilus-python anywhere in its code. It uses "from gi.repository import Nautilus", for which it needs gnome-base/nautilus[introspection], not deprecated nautilus-python. Folks is also used via introspection, but introspection isn't optional for dev-libs/folks, so that's fine. Both seem to be runtime optional deps, maybe some would like to use the extension without those deps, especially folks (harder to imagine gnome-shell without nautilus, while folks is just pulled in otherwise via extra apps like Contacts and Maps)
Oh, and otherwise I'm already using it, thanks for packaging it :)
Ah, for nautilus-python I got confused because of the name of the packages that were suggested for other distributions For gnome-online-accounts and folks for contacts integration... it should allow either folks or either gnome-online-accounts+libgdata (I got a bit confused as I thought they were covering contacts from different sources and, hence, I preferred to pull both to cover all the contacts instead some missing)

I was wrong and operated under the wrong assumption that nautilus-python is an old-style python binding. But nautilus-python doesn't provide any bindings - it provides a C nautilus extension that supports extending nautilus from python. Therefore without nautilus-python gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect works fine in general, BUT the nautilus integration can't work - the "Send To Mobile Device" context menu (right click) item won't be available to directly send files from nautilus to a mobile device. Unless things were handled different in v12, the nautilus-python dep should be added back. Also there's no PYTHON_COMPAT handling, but that's probably fine and the python extension just has to work with the python version that nautilus-python is built with, and that in turn probably has to be python-single-r1 anyways.
