Hi Douglas,

Nice initiative! I do think I agree with the comments made by others
about fragmentation thoguh; to me it would probably even make sense to
have the science, med, AI, and math teams all together in one big lump
(the "computational software" team?), rather than adding yet another
separate one. That being said, my opinion on the matter is not a strong
one, and if a math team is indeed formed, please do add me to it (Salsa
user "gspr").

I currently maintain the following math packages: gudhi, hera, lbfgsb,
phat, python-pot, ripser.


 Best,
 Gard
