Yup, I'd be fine to mentor someone who wanted to get up to speed on
it, there's a wishlist bug listed here related to improving
performance, and a number of other bugs on things that'd be nice to
have:

So any enthusiastic people are welcome to comment on bugs to register
interest, reply to the list or email me directly.

As extra incentive, if the work leads to a published paper then Ben
and I are happy share the authorship with any significant
contributors. ;-)
