I know it can be frustrating to wait on an open PR, I've been there, done that.
These are the people who can merge your PR https://github.com/libwww-perl?tab=members It looks like Gisle Aas, Matt Trout and Karen Etheridge have permission on PAUSE to release a new distribution. It might be worthwhile to gently nudge one of these people in IRC via irc.perl.org In the meantime, it sounds like you've patched the problem on your own fork. Using a tool like Pinto, Stratopan or Carton you could deploy your fork into your environment if you can't wait. Whether that is a Good Idea or Terribly Impractical depends on a lot of factors unrelated to getting your PR merged.

I also found an existing bug report on rt, which describes the problem even better: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75908. I spent a lot of time to understand the module structure and fixed the issue, I also created tests for it (fixing also some other tests that were non-operational), and I created pull request #40. I have not received any response since. As also several other pull requests are unanswered, the module looks quite unmaintained. Please have a look at this, I really do not want to bother anyone, but it is a real problem in a subcase of a central perl library, the fix is already provided. I am also ready to give more details and to improve my solution, if you find any issues with it. However, I would not like to see my efforts wasted. Please advise me how to proceed. Thank you.
