Congratulations, Xingyu and Tirth!  These sound like useful projects, and it will be fun to watch them evolve.

Tirth, I notice that UNU.RAN is GPL, so I'm curious how that is going to work with SciPy.

Xingyu, in the recent RBF PR by Trever Hines I was impressed to see how tidy Pythran code can be; so I am happy that we'll have more of that in SciPy.

Welcome on board!
