It'd be cool if webkit2gtk included the copy-paste patch

webkit2gtk has a bug where you can't paste images from memory into it. There is a patch for it on the upstream bug report but it was refused for not being elegant enough (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218519) and the issue has been dormant for years. There is an AUR package that includes the patch (revised) (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webkit2gtk-imgpaste) but Arch's webkit2gtk depends on systemd and maintaining a new package just for Artix on AUR, I feel, would be rude, not to mention WebKit takes hours to build. It would be very cool if Artix included the patch from the AUR package. Also worth mentioning is (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webkit2gtk-4.1-imgpaste) but I don't use 4.1 so I can't comment on its need.

Thank you!

EDIT: Here's the webkit2gtk-6.0 patch but I don't use 6.0 either so same as before: https://github.com/ttys3/my-fedora-packages/blob/main/src/webkitgtk/PasteboardGtk-legacy-clipboard-image-paste.patch
