Are there any maintained Windows ports of WebKit?

There's WinCairo for Windows.

WebKit is opensource and Chrome on Windows uses it, so there should be that.

Chrome doesn't use WebKit. Google forked WK many years ago into Blink [1]

I see that the fork is of WebCore rather than WebKit. Since both are LGPL any forks would also be opensource but with forking WebCore rather than WebKit the thing that uses WebCore doesn't have to be open.
