LOL.
Still, I don't feel convinced it's a worthwile idea (J.Stat.Softw. 
doesn't look like one, either). However, if you want to do it, well, do 
it. :) It can also be possible I'll contribute to it in the future, if 
you take into consideration entries about software that uses SciPy. I'd 
also broaden the scope to take into account NumPy, Matplotlib and in 
general all science things doing Python. Another interesting requirement 
could be that algorithms, software etc. presented must show at least one 
open-source (as defined by OSI) implementation.

The only thing I am really worried is the requirement of an article 
along with documentation for inclusion of code into SciPy. This can have 
drawbacks.
