As I wrote on the PR, and again on this issue, a PR that makes a behavior 
change (like this one) is not complete without a unit test (which fails before 
the change and passes after the change, and can show what the bug being fixed 
is).  You could add such a test.

In this case, it is also not clear that the current behavior is a bug at all, 
and if it is then what the fix should be (you propose to map None to ''. But 
why not 'None'? Why not 'Mary had a little lamb'?  I suggested to return None 
rather than some arbitrary string). You could explain why you think it's a bug 
and why you think '' is the correct return value.

Once you do write the test and there is consensus that it is a bug and we agree 
what the fix should be, it should be some core dev's top priority to review and 
merge the PR (as opposed to reviewing and merging another PR). So you could 
push it forward by explaining why this bug is important.
