[SciPy-dev] two tickets with patches

[Jarrod Millman]

There are two tickets that contain donated code, which have been
sitting around for over a year or more:
  http://scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/354
  http://scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/457

I would like to see at least some comments on them about why they
haven't been accepted.  They are both first attempts but no one has
made any critical comments or useful suggestions for what the authors
need to do in order to have their code accepted.  One provides support
the Harwell-Boeing format and the other provides a FIR filter.

For instance, would someone be willing to take a look and add a
comment to the ticket that addresses at least:  Do they need tests and
coding style work?  Or is there no interest in including this code in
scipy?

Thanks,
