Thanks for the article, I never heard of them.

Since they are apparently "powerful" enough to decide major direction of WebKit development as evidenced by OP's article, what exactly is their relationship with Apple in this regard? Like who has the final say and who do the day-to-day decisions?

I'm always curious about the politics and power structure/dynamics of these major open source projects, especially the ones backed up by large companies.

To be clear WebKit is made up of multiple ports. These ports are maintained by their own groups and Igalia maintains WebKitGTK/WPE where this change is happening. It does not affect the Apple ports of WebKit.

To answer your question though. WebKit is Apple's project and they do the majority of contributions. Igalia is the second largest contributor and collaborates with Apple regularly. Within the GTK/WPE ports Igalia controls them.

Ah thanks, that clears it up.
