Hi Dawit, I'm very happy to hear from you on this issue!

I share your hopes for the independent releases; the latest released version of QtWebKit (in the context of desktop browsing) is rickety at best, and there have been countless improvements since Qt 4.7 that are just sitting on trunk gathering dust right now.

What exactly is holding Nokia back from giving QtWebKit its
own independent release schedule ? To me doing this would allow Nokia
to suck the last stable QtWebKit release that would have been tested
by a wider audience, into Qt 4.8 and do their own further internal
testing, no ?

This question is still pending a proper answer. We're currently in the process of deciding what to do for Qt 4.8. Personally I am all for the time-based releases we originally announced 1 year ago.

It's regrettable that we're hanging the open-source QtWebKit community out to dry, given the amount of feedback we're already getting, not to mention the potential [cross-platform] feedback/QA we could be tapping into by simply releasing the software that we're making(!)
