Dear all, discussion has apparently ceased on this topic. As I don’t see myself in a position to open the pull request for this and lead the implementation (I am too unexperienced with GitHub and don’t have the time to learn all the rules necessary to create a good scipy code), I am asking if someone would volunteer to take the lead. I will help where I can, but you don’t want me to be responsible for this.

EPA guidance specifies that the Mann-Kendall test be used to determine if there's a trend (seasonal, or long-term) in pollutant concentrations. Even though regulators sometimes *require* that you use their ProUCL[0] software, this would be still be a very welcome addition to the stats module for environmental engineers like me. Martin: if you get the pull request started, I'll help your write the tests.
