Thank you, I am uploading that fix to unstable now.

Berto, what are your plans for pushing webkit2gtk 2.50 to Debian 12
and 13? If you push this initial major update as a regular stable
update, then we can update evolution at the same time. However, the
next point releases are not scheduled until November 15. [1]

Otherwise, would the Security Team allow pushing the evolution update
[2] as a security update alongside webkit2gtk 2.50?
