Hi Jakob.
Sounds like you read up on all the right things.
Indeed sounds like a case for scikit-learn-contrib.
I think the most common pitfall is that it might take some time for 
someone to review the project to get merged into scikit-learn-contrib.
I'm not sure if there's a backlog right now.
Though Alex Gramfort might be interested in this, which might speed up 
the process ;)

Cheers,
Andy
