If Pete doesn't respond, then my plan is to take over this package and retire it, finally implementing https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_webkit2gtk-4.0_API_Version
This is a ticket for the Fedora's Policy for nonresponsive package maintainers.

Metadata Update from @ngompa: - Issue tagged with: nonresponsive maintainer
So, our policy says:
If approved, and the reporter is a current Fedora packager in good standing, interested in comaintaining the package, FESCo will default to adding the reporter as the package admin. If the existing co-maintainers of the package do not want the package to be reassigned to the reporter, they should state so in the ticket. If assigned ownership, the reporter can now perform any required package maintenance.
So, technically we should add you as admin... but... you intend to just retire the package, so I'm not sure if that falls under 'required maint'. Perhaps we should allow until next week for them to respond?
Waiting another week won't hurt anything.
P.S. Pete notably maintained ICU and did rebuilds of dependent packages whenever it was updated, so somebody else will need to handle that if Pete does not reappear. The maintainer is @erack; he probably just assumed Pete would keep doing it.
Correct, I assumed so. Note that I won't be available anymore after August this year, or only sporadically, so best if someone else would be taking the ICU package as well.
@pwalter ping, do you still want to maintain your packages?
