I think a standalone package and a patch for 'master' are not mutually
exclusive. As I wrote before, we can deprecate pulsar when Emacs 29 is
the new stable and has this functionality built-in.
As for whether such a patch would be easy, I admit that I do not know
how best to implement it. If you or anyone else can write such a patch,
please do it.
At any rate, I just published version 0.2.0 of pulsar.el. The release
