Would be nice to be able to save revision history as a file (so it can be deleted from local storage and also backed up). It would also be nice to be able to request more local storage space.

With v0.31, now there is an option to save revision history as a file, and another to load from such a file, merging the revisions lists (i.e., skipping duplicate ones).

From the README.md file:

Backing up the revisions stored in local storage

The "Open" menu also has a "Save all revisions to file" option, which saves the entire revision history to a JSON file (named exet-revisions-timestamp.json), as a way of having a back-up beyond the browser's local storage. Apart from using as a back-up mechanism, you can also use this to transfer all the crosswords that you're working on to a different computer. The companion option, "Merge saved revisions file," lets you read a saved JSON file, merging all revision state from it. This allows limiting to just the latest version of each crossword (instead of its full revision history). The revisions are merged: in the sense that if a revision already exists then it is not duplicated.
