Dear Numpy-developers,

I wanted to enquire, whether there is interest to add a geometric mean function to numpy. I opened a PR <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/31394> but it was closed, because new features should be routed through the mailing list first.

Please apologise my mistake. I ask again to consider the proposal. I wanted to use this function recently during analysis of a machine-learning model, and noticed its absence in numpy.

I believe despite its simplicity, this function would serve a a case in numpy.

You can see the previous discussion here: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/14985 Since it's available in scipy, most maintainers don't feel a need for it to be in numpy. It's a judgment call as to what remains in scipy and what gets pushed down into numpy, and everyone is free to have their judgment go either way, but I don't think the opinion of the maintainers has drifted much from the last time this was discussed. -- Robert Kern
