Description
qtwebkit has not had an official commit for 5 years: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebkit.git/
The legacy static ebuild uri points to https://github.com/annulen/webkit, the latest tag of which is also more than 5 years ago
The repo description also says:
Code in this repository is obsolete. Use this fork: https://github.com/movableink/webkit
https://github.com/movableink/webkit has a release called '2022-09-07' and tags called '2022-09-07', '2023-12-18-qt6', and '2024-12-08', with little or no release notes.
3 options present themselves:
- autogen against https://github.com/annulen/webkit (this maintains existing status quo)
- autogen against https://github.com/movableink/webkit (more recent release but untested and releases are not clearly labelled)
- drop qtwebkit and deal with dependencies on case-by-case basis (may break some things but addresses poor state of qtwebkit)
The packages/eclass that currently have a qtwebkit dependency in mark-testing are:

Research direction
Start with qt-kit/dev-qt/qtwebkit/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20200309-r2.ebuild, then inspect the listed ebuilds and templates that depend on qtwebkit. Determine which of the three stated paths is supportable, check the affected package definitions and their existing dependency behavior, and consider the full listed consumer set done only when the chosen path is consistently applied.
