Description:

libtiff supports and automatically enables webp encoding if it installed during build. Would be neat if this can be added to the package, as it is one of few formats supporting lossy encoding and alpha channel. Libwebp is a common dependency for a lot of common packages (chromium, ffmpeg, gimp, to mention a few).
This task depends upon

Some applications, such cartridges are also dependant upon WebP encoding functionality by default. So looking towards the future, it is probably a good idea to get this feature enabled.
