Hi,
We've hired a contractor to work on this as part of:
https://foundation.gnome.org/2023/11/09/gnome-recognized-as-public-interest-infrastructure/
However no work has started yet. The first step will be to get a
working portal:
https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/989
(Without a portal, WebKit would have to use libfido2 directly, which
will be blocked by WebKit's bubblewrap sandbox or the flatpak sandbox.
So there is no point to attempting that approach; it has to go via a
portal.)
The portal might be a good place to start helping since it doesn't
require modifying WebKit and we don't have a clear sense of direction
regarding the portal yet. We need to figure out what the D-Bus API for
the portal should look like. There is a "downstream" or experimental
project xdg-credentials-portal that we might want to use as a basis,
but we don't know exactly how. So commenting in that issue and trying
to build consensus on what the API should look like could be a good way
to push this forward.
Michael
