I don't think Brandon was implying that I should have done anything
differently -- I think he just meant that the project might benefit
from another person to merge pull requests, as evidenced by the fact
that it took a while for mine to get merged.

Yes. Or, even more to the point, it's run by volunteers and it is as responsive as the available time from the available volunteers; if you want faster responses, you need more people with more available time to put into it.

(Volunteer projects are almost invariably chronically short on manpower to get stuff done.)
