Not really. The reverse dependency list is big because it contains KDE4, 
but there are already patches around to strip off webkit from kdelibs. 
Once that is sorted out, the number of packages that link to qtwebkit is 
not that big:

acetoneiso2
bibletime
clipgrab
fcitx-libpinyin
freecad
freemat
gambas3-gb-qt4-webkit
kbibtex
kchmviewer
krecipes
kvirc
python-pyside
qlandkartegt
qt4pas
wkhtmltopdf
amarok
k3b
python-pyqt4
qtscriptgenerator

So +1 to both, I'm all for dropping unmaintained stuff.

As for the webkitgtk list: pan is built without webkit support now.
