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.
