Wonderful news, congratulations!

It probably does not require mentioning, but if possible of course I'd 
encourage you to do this with a clean enough interface to monotone that 
other projects can reuse it.

While I'm always pleased to have monotone be "best" at something, 
extracting latent structure from a CVS archive is as you know 
research-grade inference work, and if you can condense what you learn 
into a reusable tool it'll probably have greater visibility and longevity.
