Hi Alejandro, Thanks a lot for offering to contribute.
I have the feeling that such techniques are no longer much used in the machine learning. I think that this might explain the lack of answer you go on the mailing list. We are currently somewhat struggling under fairly heavy growth and we have a hard time ensuring quality and homogeneity of the library. I would thus say that for now, for cannot really include GNG in scikit-learn. My suggestion would be to do a separate repo, with a scikit-learn compatible implementation and build the code there and improve the code there. That way you can move forward and make your code accessible to others.
