[Numpy-discussion] anyone to look at #1402?

[Nathaniel Smith]

So there's this patch I submitted:
  http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1402
Obviously not that high a priority in the grand scheme of things (it
adds a function to compute the log-determinant directly), but I don't
want to release a version of scikits.sparse with this functionality
while the numpy patch is hanging in needs-review status (since the API
might change), so it's a bit of a blocker for me. Anyone have a minute
to take a look?

Thanks!
