Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

I am a co-chair for the WebView community group:
https://www.w3.org/community/webview/

Our charter for this year is to improve compat data availability for the various WebViews:
https://github.com/WebView-CG/charter/blob/main/charter.md

This has spawned the project https://caniwebview.com

We recently added support for browser compat data (bcd) to the website. BCD is a repository driven by MDN to provide machine readable data for browser compat:
https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data

Example of a result using bcd:
https://caniwebview.com/features/abortcontroller/

BCD seems to currently only have data for Android WebView. Would anyone here be willing to help champion data for WebView2? We've opened a similar issue to try to get data for WKWebView so we can see an example of the type of data they need here:
https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/issues/23296

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

This data would mainly be for the benefit of developers.

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.
