What relationship, if any, does this have to MiddleKit?

It has similar functionality to MiddleKit, and is meant to aid in the
same situations, but does so in a different way.  Neither is actually
related to WebKit (and hence most of Webware), but of course they are
useful for web/database applications.

Sounds a lot like PyDO from the skunkweb folks.

They certainly are targeting the same problem.  My impression is that
PyDO has changed since I last looked at it, and there's at a version
that uses metaclasses and attributes more like SQLObject.  That doesn't
seem to be the version documented on the PyDO site, though.  But yes,
they are similar.  There's some other ones out there as well, but they
are mostly lower-level, like SQLDict or DbObj.
