Bug#832159: upstream



Hi,

I'm the upstream maintainer - I worked together with Fritz for this
package, and we both think it's ready at this point. A Debian
developer I know (Axel Beckert, Cc'ed here) also took a look at the
package and would be willing to sponsor it.

Let me point out that WebKit2GTK is probably newer than QtWebKit -
however none of the existing WebKitGTK browsers got ported to WebKit2
so far ;)

I am also aware that QtWebKit is unmaintained upstream - however I
still hope someone will package QtWebEngine for Debian at some point,
and there are also efforts for a maintained QtWebKit successor (with
which qutebrowser already mostly works):
