I propose that we use some time to establish a reasonable amount of categories of algorithms. We already have string related,
I'm working on statistics related, and there are probably more categories out there. Then, once we have these categories, one
or two persons (preferable persons with domain knowlegde) must take responsibility for the overall quality of that library and
inspect new mini-submissions and work with the new authors to ensure their
contribution will fit into the overall scheme. Then a formal mini-review should follow.
