Great. I've opened a request / discussion thread at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796019.

I think this might be a convenient option as quite a few users have
mentioned that they can't find a current version of GnuCash in their
distribution repositories and need to build it themselves. While I have
nothing against building software, I find it unnecessary for an ordinary
user to download development tools and libraries. Especially now that a few
technologies exist to allow convenient binary packages. In any case, the
topic is open. Let's see if we can get something rolling automatically.
