Out of the whole developer pool? Sure, that's a very small fraction.
Out of the pool of Gtk developers? That's basically saying "Have you done gtk and kept up to date?". It's not really the equivalent of the dreadful "5 years of experience in a JS framework that came out last October".
For a migration job, what else would you suggest as the initial requirements? Sounds okay, although they might have to go down if they find out that e.g. every gtk3 developer moved on to Qt, WinUI or Flutter...
(For generic, long-term positions I'm strictly against too specific requirements, by the way. Actual desktop UI experience would be great, though, even in our current sad state)
