Hi Ankit, thanks for your interest. I'm curious what you'll propose for
features to implement - there's many ways to go.

At the moment there are no existing issues for DWT or the continuous
wavelets already present in scipy.signal, so I'd say just pick something
that interests you for your first PR(s).

Cheers,
Ralf
