Would the maintainers of the GTK and WPE APIs be willing to assist in

Sigh... we'll need to discuss what to do. Unfortunately, these are
public APIs and this will be extremely disruptive. If it's needed for
site isolation, I don't see that we have much choice. But if we remove
these APIs, Linux distros will get stranded on the last version of
WebKit that still supports them and will be unable to take our further
updates.
Deprecation is a lot easier than removal. If we can keep deprecated
APIs working and just disable site isolation when they're used, that
would be much less disruptive.
