Hi all!

Bastian, thank you for filing these bugs!

As bugs for python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit reverse dependencies were filed quite
recently, I think we should give the maintainers some time to react and
prepare updates. I propose the following timeline:

- One week from now, on 2025-01-27, bump the severities to RC and post a
  notice that python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit will be removed soon.

- Two weeks from now, on 2025-02-03, actually upload a version of pyqt5 that
  does not build python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit binary anymore. (I will probably
  also remove some other binaries without rdeps in that upload.)

- After pyqt5 is uploaded, we can bump severity of #1069574 to RC, so
  eventually Qt WebKit and its remaining reverse dependencies are marked for
  auto-removal.

Does this sound good to you?
