This is a separate feature idea, but I think it's really valuable as well.

Maybe something similar to pg_stat_user_functions?
But instead grouping by wait_event_type, wait_event, and showing
accumulated count and sum of waiting time since last stat reset, just
like the other pg_stat_* views?

Maybe something like this?

\d pg_stat_waiting
View "pg_catalog.pg_stat_waiting"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+------------------+-----------
wait_event_type | name |
wait_event | name |
waiting_counter | bigint |
waiting_time | double precision |
