How do I import a self-signed root CA certificate such that
Epiphany
accepts its certificates?

To the best of my knowledge, Epiphany doesn't use the GNOME keyring
for certificate verification. You'll have to add the CA to your 
system certificate store. On Fedora this is located at 
/etc/pki/ca-trust. If you add your cert (in PEM format) to 
/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ and run update-ca-trust as root, 
Epiphany should be able to validate certs against your newly added
CA 
cert.

The paths and update mechanism vary from distro to distro, but the 
basic process is the same: add a new anchor cert and regenerate the
CA store. If you Google "add root CA <distro name here>" then you 
should get some results.

Good luck
