Alas, the usage of ABRT over the past few months or so has significantly increased the count of bugs reported against WebKitGTK/Midori, and continued assistance in squashing/triaging these would be greatly appreciated!

There's webkit-security mailing list, I'm the member (+security response team people are members too). There was one problem - at first, they wasn't aware there's gtk webkit too ;-) And I wonder who's really responsible on this side - so that's why I'd like to have WebKit team taking care about all WebKits (and KHTML too) - as there's lot in common.

We need one real WebKit with tweaks to fit toolkits. Basically you want to split WebCore and the other generic parts of webkit and rebuild the platform specific versions upon it? That would be a hell lot of work... You know, the different ports use different javascript engines (well, basically AFAIK only chromium does...), they use different network libraries (libcurl vs. libsoup on linux), different font rendering engine, ... Plus, this effort should be carried over together with upstream. Plus there's WebKit2 development going on (not sure what stage it is at right now, though) and the ports will switch to it sooner or later, so this would be IMHO a better starting point.
