Why not make the missing patch directly in QtWebKit?

Everything is done in the open on webkit.org: 
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKit
You do not need any special status to make patches for WebKit. Pierre 
for example is not yet a WebKit commiter, and he still regularly submit 
patches.

I think it is not easier to workaround the problem instead of changing 
WebKit directly.
