Gnome2.3 in Sid/Q will be impossible, I'm afraid, without locking out all "new" Gnome3 packages and compiling 2.3x from scratch. After all this is just a hobby project and not a replacement for Real Life ;)

I can totally understand that. And Mate is mighty fine after all. So was MacOs 9.2.
Avatars are bloat
Re: BBQ Democrat - Window Manager/DE
I've been doing a little distro-hopping for a while now and after playing with several versions of BBQ over the past few months and a few other Debian based things, I have settled on Fluxbox running on Debian as my main OS. So I voted "other" cuz Fluxbox rocks. Since that is not likely to happen here I cast my second vote for Openbox. (not LXDE) I've been using it more than anything else since about 2008 and am comfortable with it.
In any event, if it's kept fairly minimalistic and people are given the usual guidance for tweaking, I think anything you guys did would turn out well.

Re: BBQ Democrat - Window Manager/DE
I recently configured an XFCE4 desktop to mimic (99.9%) of the Gnome 2 interface that Fuduntu had. It (Fuduntu) had a menu at the top, cario as the dock, and composting. People were lamenting the loss of Gnome 2 since gtk2 was going the way of the buggy whip and was consuming a lot of time tying to manage a fork. I had mentioned that XFCE could provide most of the existing look and feel and be gtk3 at the same time. (I heard crickets chirping). I suppose some people do get "married" to a particular LAF, but if you go Debian, then everything is pretty much built for you. I comes down to what is provided as a starting place and how determined you are to get things the way you want. Luckily with Linux BBQ, I can be pretty lazy. It provides great starting places.
