As a last follow up here, the pull request adding QR updating is complete and soon to be merged. However, it would be good to have some more eyes on it before then.  If these features interest you, please go take a look.  The pr is https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/4249.  

This supports both full and economic mode QRs.

Thanks, 

Eric

hi,

I think it would be indeed a nice contrib. On the same line you have
in scikit-learn [1]
an implementation of cholesky update and downdate which might be
useful to a broader audience.

Best,
Alex
