Thank you for your feedback!

I forgot to mention, patch comes with pg_stopevents() function which
returns rowset (stopevent text, condition jsonpath, waiters int[]).
Waiters is an array of pids of waiting processes.

Additionally, isolation tester checks if a particular backend is
waiting using pg_isolation_test_session_is_blocked(), which works with
stop events too.
