Only a tiny one, and Ralph Gommers and Pauli Virtanen also contributed. But
Ian Henriksen wrote the code and did all the tedious work. 

Ian also had to put up with doing all the work twice, because we changed
the design when he was almost done. Originally we hijacked the _cpointer
attribute from the (incomplete) f2py interfaces, similar to what
statsmodels does, but there were a number of difficulties with this method.
We therefore opted for using Cython's sharing mechanism for C functions
instead [see link], which meant Ian had to do the work all over again.
