Okay, I've opened a bug with WebP team regarding IANA registration: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webp/issues/detail?id=448
For what its worth, WebM was added without an IANA registration as a de facto standard. Approval was given in this 2014 comment: https://bugs.python.org/issue16329
To help support the recognition of WebP as a de facto standard, the image format is currently seeing about the same amount of usage on the web as BMP images, and has seen sharp growth this year, approximately tripling in usage. Data from W3: https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/im-webp
Please let me know if there's any data I can provide, or anyone specific I should contact regarding approval.
