@vlood Good catch. Thank you for the patch. This PR needs two things to be merged:

1. Spacing adjustments to match the WordPress Coding Standards: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/coding-standards/php/#space-usage
2. Unit tests to confirm that custom post statuses set to public are allowed.

Can you update your PR?

Yep, will do this :)

@vlood Any updates here? :)

Yeah, I've written some tests, but have no PHPUnit setup on my environment and just had my laptop destroyed, so I got other issues to face. I can update the pull request with the tests (and the spacing convention applied), if this is okay with you?

Ouch, sucks to hear that!

Any updates you have are fine (even if non-functional); we can fix up any other issues on our end.

Okay, this should be it - c5f618a comes with the tests and stuff :)

The PR is refreshed after the last changes in the file structure that made it's previous commits impossible for automatic merge. Let me know if you need anything else in order to have this one accepted.

Closing in favor of #1765
