It'd certainly be good for the number of active optimize maintainers to
increase, to tackle PRs and issues, etc.

optimize is probably one of the most heavily used parts of scipy, that's
why it gets a lot of traffic on github. I think the module is probably in
not too bad a good shape. A review of outstanding issues would give an idea
of what types of issues are commonly experienced, it's not clear that a
large scale redesign would necessarily change anything.

One thing I'm mainly interested in minimisations of scalar functions. I had
a desire to implement a class-based minimization system for those, but I'm
fairly convinced it would have to be developed outside scipy in a spin-off
project first.
