Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  webp is not of particular importance here. gdk-pixbuf2 already has optdeps on available loaders

Technically already covered as existing optdep of a dependent pkg:

Optional dependencies for gdk-pixbuf2
<...>
webp-pixbuf-loader: Load .webp

You could always add a note to the Wiki [1]?

If no interest shown from PM's...this ticket will be closed ASAP instead of being left open indefinitely to rot.
