Comment:

 This port not only uses gtk2 but also uses the old gnome2 libraries.  To
 use webkit2-gtk, upstream needs to get rid of the gnome2 lib usage and
 update to gtk3 before porting to the webkit2 API. This is a sizeable
 effort and there appears to be no upstream development in this area at
 present.

 Based on the current situation, if webkit-gtk were removed, gnucash would
 have to be removed as well.  Some other distros, such as Fedora, are
 considering moving in this direction.

 Reassigning ticket to the maintainer for further comment/action.
