This is kind of off-topic for your message, but I pay attention to webkitgtk because it's security-critical for the Epiphany "gnome-web" browser and GNOME overall, but I never looked at wpewebkit. It doesn't have any dependents in Guix. It was commented-out in the inputs of gst-plugins-bad, but there was no contextual explanation in the surrounding code or commit message, so I removed the comment. The latest wpewebkit release is 2.34.3, according to this page: https://wpewebkit.org/code/ It seems to be share a release pattern with webkitgtk: https://webkitgtk.org/ I suggest we try to keep this package up to date or remove it from Guix.
