The purposes of DjVu/TIFF and WebP are completely different: the former are
used as multipage containers with book scans for Wikisource, while the latter
is a format intended for general replacement for PNG due to its better
compression. Therefore, uploading WebP files just to convert them to PNG due to
lack of browser support makes no sense, PNG would serve just fine. Let's
revisit this in a couple of years when browser support for this format will be
more widespread (or it will fail and we wouldn't need to bother with it at
all).
