I'm very conservative about changes where the algebra is concerned.
Even for "obvious to the average nosepicker" changes there are 
hard and interesting mathematical questions. In general the updates
I've done have been done by the original authors of the packages
(Sit, Lambe, Rioboo, etc). I don't know enough mathematics to be
considered an authority.

>On the other hand, I am happy to summarize discussions where I'm able to.

I listen carefully to the discussion but unless somebody sends me a
diff -Naur old new
patch file and a test case or two it is unlikely that I'd make a change. 

However, if you author a new math package I'm happy to add it. 
rinterp.spad.pamphlet exists in the current distribution and you
are the authority for it. It isn't "exposed" so people can't see
it unless they explicitly expose it but it is there.
