Guidance requested on stalled PR adding pivoted QR decomposition

Hi all,

I am looking for guidance regarding a PR I opened that adds pivoted QR decomposition to ATen and torch.linalg:

PR: Add pivoted QR decomposition to ATen and torch.linalg by thkloss · Pull Request #170051 · pytorch/pytorch · GitHub

The PR includes tests and documentation and has been open for some time.
It is currently marked with the stale label and at risk of auto-closure due to missing reviewer bandwidth.

I realize that new features are typically discussed prior to merge requests.
I did not open a design discussion beforehand, but the feature was previously requested in:

Both are referenced in the PR.

At this point, I would appreciate guidance on:

  • Whether this functionality aligns with current PyTorch direction
  • Whether the implementation approach seems acceptable at a high level
  • Who would be the appropriate maintainer to review or sponsor this change

If the preferred path is to restructure this into a formal RFC or adjust the scope, I’m happy to do so.

Thanks for your time and guidance.
