Looks like this was done without involving FESCo and without going through a proper Change
process. I don't think it's a proper way to approach it like this as it breaks a
large part of the distro.
I would like to unretire webkitgtk3 as removing it breaks one of my packages (bijiben). My
intention is to keep maintaining the webkitgtk3 package until bijiben gets ported to
something else.
I took ownership in pkgdb, but it appears to be still blocked in koji. Does anyone know
how I can get it unblocked?
