Hi pushed a prototype of the library on a public repo:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/aplazas/libmanette
Its licensed under the LGPLv2.1+ (the same as glib/gtk+), it depends on
glib, gio, gobject and libevdev, and gudev is highly recommended though
it provides a fallback. So far it is Linux only but I'm not against
makinig it cross-platform with a bit of help.
I tried to keep the public API minimal as it's easier to add stuff than
to remove it. ☺ It's not completely usable yet as functions to
retrieve the useful content from the events still have to be written. I
would like to polish it a bit more and to publish a first release
within a month.
A code review would be very welcomed if you have time for it.
Cheers,
Adrien Plazas

Of course, all the cross-platform gamepad support still exists. It
just needs to be implemented for the GTK and WPE ports.
I think we'd be fine with adding a dependency on your gamepad library
as long as (a) it uses either a BSD/MIT style or LGPLv2+ (not LGPLv3+
and not GPL) license, and (b) as long as it's optional, so that
distros can turn it off if they don't ship it yet. This means you'd
need to use WEBKIT_OPTION_DEFINE to make ENABLE_GAMEPAD a public
option in OptionsGTK.cmake.
I think all the code you'd need to modify is under
Source/WebCore/platform/gamepad and Source/WebKit/UIProcess/Gamepad.
There's gamepad code in a few other places, but it all looks
cross-platform.
