So, what else I can do is review others' pull requests/issues, right?
I commented Tobias' request [1] which seems to be an inappropriate because the issue is more general (#154). Another Tobias' request [2] looks ok and ready to push. I'm not sure about the third one [3] and added an idea there. As for the requestes concerning java, I can't be of much help there. As for others' issues.. I'd say that #155 should be closed (sort of "won't fix" thing) [4], same thing for #153 [5] as the author didn't answered the questions for further reproducing (or we have to contact him somehow), probably the same thing for #142 [6] (the author hasn't reported any tests of more recent TiddlySaver); #139: to be retested (supposed to be fixed, I think; Jeremy?) [7]; for #132 [8], I added a comment with a possible quick fix. I can probably go on with reviewing the issues, but let me know if I've understood you correctly and this is the thing that is needed now.
