We definitely want qt5webengine packaged in Buildroot. As you have
seen, there have been several patches floating around to package it,
but none has been accepted so far. The last attempt was in June this
year [1], and the patch got some comments from Peter Seiderer [2] and
myself [3].

There are now at least three people interested in qt5webengine: Akihiko
Odaki, Julien Corjon, and yourself. It would be good if you could sync
up and come up with a proposal that addresses the comments that have
been made.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
