Hi,

It's been a few months since the last message here. I also directly sent
Phillip an email last week asking if he could take a look at my PR, but I
haven't received a response.

Do you know what's normally done in cases like this? Even if persist.el is
maintained externally, should we just merge my patch and close this bug if
we can't get a response from the maintainer?
