We still have packages that depend on gconf although it being abandonware by gnome for quite a while. There are at least two attempts I know of that provided a patch to convert gsettings-schema-convert to use python3 instead of python2:

I don't know exactly which game needs it but my esteam tool detected gconf a requirement for something I have in Steam. I'll go ahead and do this soon if there's no objections.

Probably not relevant, but www-client/opera also requires gconf.  I'm going to try to find out if they have any plans for changing that.

I've been fairly inactive lately but this matters to me so I've picked it up tonight. Will try to update to EAPI 7 while I'm at it but gnome2.eclass might be an issue.

    gnome-base/gconf: Python 3, python-single-r1.eclass, EAPI 6
    
    Only a single Python executable is installed so supporting multiple
    Python versions does not make sense here.
