Hey all,

Matt Haberland's pull request with implementations of the Fisher and
Wallenius noncentral hypergeometric distributions (built on Nicholas
McKibben's wrappers of Agner Fog's biasedurn code) looks ready to merge:
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/13330.

It would be nice to get some more eyes on it.  The last issue that we've
been discussing is the names of the distributions.  The current names,
`fnch` and `wnch`, are quite concise, and some longer alternatives are
being considered in the PR. Comments on that and on the PR in general would
be helpful.  Thanks!

Warren
