Hi,
As Daniel said, "after a while, *try poking Gregory*". So adding him in cc could help.
He's released a new version of that plugin 15 days ago, so he's pretty active even in this plugin indeed.
So even if I understand your will to get an official fix asap, I don't think that would be respectful to him to merge without getting his opinion first.
And the Christmas period doesn't help: there's good chance he might be on holiday somewhere with family fixing toasters, phones and microwaves until next Monday at least.
IMO your best bet until then is to create a patched version locally.
Cheers
