Hello,

Then the following paragraph that you wrote:

   This series starts with the same three patches as the previous
   submission, and adds on top three additional commits to make
   WebKitGTK+ available on AArch64 (it's a platform we support
   upstream), and adds a couple of patches which are already merged in
   the upstream repository, but are not in the release and are worth
   applying.

is a bit unclear. You're saying "adds on top three additional commits
to make WebKitGTK+ available on AArch6". What those three additional
commits ?

For the record, your patch series was:

  brotli: new package
  woff2: new package
  webkitgtk: update to version 2.20.0
  webkitgtk: Add upstream patch for better memory monitoring

OK, thanks. Some clarification about the above would be nice. Perhaps
it was just a mistake in your cover letter ?

Best regards,
