Is there anything other than nullable to work with optional types?

Then help to push it forward!!
There are many ways:
- review the PR and point out anything problematic you see (lack 
of reviews/interest  is a main reason why PRs get stalled)
- post reasons and arguments for merging this PR (seems like you 
have a couple of good real world examples - post them!)
- revive the PR (it's quite old and the author probably lost 
interest. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking the diff 
and resubmitting it - on the contrary that's often the only 
possible way to revive/save old PRs)
