AFAICT the PR is about whitespaces in the README, so not a blocker.

Indeed :)

I was mostly concerned that a pull request back from 2020 is still open.

That said, there is indeed no rush and actually no urgent need to do
anything - it is not like we are getting an large inflow of bug reports
related to constants.el.

(My guess is that Carsten still skims through the list from time to
time.)

I see no reason not to use
https://github.com/cdominik/constants-for-Emacs as the source for
constants.el, the package seems stable (as its name suggests...)

I've fixed the link in the manual.

Of course, if Carsten wants to move the package to Org orphanage, 
no problem.

The source code at https://github.com/cdominik/constants-for-Emacs has
not been changed since the end of 2020, and I have last seen Carsten
being active on mailing lists at the beginning of 2021.

So, we may instead consider marking the package at
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-orphanage.html and maybe inside
https://sr.ht/~bzg/org/ project.
