While this is certainly true for the recent months, and just judging by 
the current traffic I can understand why someone who did not participate 
in QtWebKit development might come to a false conclusion.

I agree with Zeno, because this mailing list is not the right place for 
discussions concerning web related issues and problems specific to 
Chromium itself, which have nothing to do with Qt.

Additionally the noise ratio of this ML makes it really easy to lose 
valuable information, which makes it counterproductive for a project 
that is in the early stages of its development.
