I'd like to have a closer look soon.

Is this still the place for the latest version?

Not sure in which order to do things. Maybe it will be best to first add
the square root routines, with tests, and then add functions for
converting between points and octet strings (and related utilities, if
needed).

One general questions on the setting: Do you expect any of the new
functions will be used for secret data (in contrast to public keys or
signatures)? If so, we need to be particularly careful with side-channel
leaks.

I would consider adding asserts for such conditions, to ensure that the
library fails promptly and in a controlled fashion in case assumptions
turn out to be wrong.
