If no one is willing to take the time to send them a PR then the situation is simply not going to change until the project maintainers have both the time and inclination to add async/await markup support to Sphinx, and if they personally aren't doing any async coding then that won't change anytime soon.

Probably the best way forward is to reach consensus on the appropriate issue on how the solution should look in a PR they would accept, and then create the PR. But as project maintainer myself I'm not about to hold it against them for having not taken care of this.

merged in spite of me repeatedly reminding them on the Google group.
