As far as I know, none of the mentors know much about the algorithm. Maybe Raoul knows it (I don't know if he is willing to mentor, though). Likely whoever mentors the project will have to learn it with you. I definitely would like to learn more about the algorithm (which isn't to say I would necessarily be the mentor; it really depends on what other projects are proposed).
I would start by getting all the resources listed on the ideas page, getting a good grasp on how the algorithm works, and maybe seeing if you can run through the algorithm "by hand" using SymPy for some simple example (that will also give you an idea of what sub pieces are missing from SymPy).
