Hello Hartmut,

I've upgraded the description field as request see attached. And CC to
35866@debbugs.gnu.org

I've also addressed in depth some Ricardo's concerns.

More then likely you will have problems applying this with git am
again. This final declaration though based on my original
submission. Was moved manually out and back in again. So there is
probably inconsequential git history missing. I could create a new bug
report maybe? Or you can still use the complete diff from
https://gitlab.com/mike.rosset/guix/compare/master...qtwebengine
