Description Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2020-10-23 18:26:58 UTC 
QtWebKit's time is limited now. Please inquire at upstream and inform them of the need to port away from it.
Comment 1 Jouni Kosonen 2020-10-25 12:33:15 UTC 
Upstream seems to be aware: 

> Operating system: Linux
> Version: 15.7.4
> Release date: 2020-06-17
> Improved architecture: To make our architecture more future-proof we make use of Qt version 5.6 and QtWebEngine instead of QtWebKit.

Distribution packages for versions 15.9.5 and 15.10.5 are still built against QtWebKit, though.

I can't access your previous link, it is hidden behind login. Do you have a means to inquire at upstream about the state of their QtWebEngine efforts on Linux?

None that would get any traction, unfortunately. There's an open support question[0] about this from November, though.
