Thanks for the reminder, I've closed the PR.

BTW, I have looked briefly at implementing wait_for_pids with pwait.
The only complication I see at the moment is that wait_for_pids
actually takes a list of pids rather than just one, so setting that up
will complicate things slightly, but it should not be an overwhelming
burden. It will just take more time than I can devote to it at the
moment.
