This is not how removal of packages from unstable or testing is done
in Debian.

The way things work in Debian, it is the duty of the maintainer
to get the reverse dependencies removed before filing the RM bug.

For not wasting even more time on this discussion, it should be 
acceptable for everyone that immediate removal of qgis from testing will 
be requested as part of the qtwebkit removal request at whatever point 
in the future qtwebkit is ready for testing removal due to having no 
other reverse dependencies left.
