Thanks for your patch.

I read the discussion about stats entries for table sync worker[1], the
statistics are retained after table sync worker finished its jobs and user can remove
them via pg_stat_reset_subscription_worker function.

But I notice that, if a table sync worker finished its jobs, the error reported by
this worker will not be shown in the pg_stat_subscription_workers view. (It seemed caused by this condition: "WHERE srsubstate <> 'r'") Is it intentional? I think this may cause a result that users don't know the statistics are still exist, and won't remove the statistics manually. And that is not friendly to users' storage, right?
