https://github.com/thecaligarmo/oriented_matroids for the project) Due to external time commitments, it hasn't finished as fast as I would have liked. (It's currently set-up as a package, but eventually it should nicely/easily be able to be integrated into sagemath itself)

Hence, we should spend the time having them get it into a format that is acceptable for Sage. In the end, it should play nice with the current matroid code, but I don't think that is a requirement for a new feature.

https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/36492. The main topic of that PR is matroids about which I know almost nothing, so I am not the right person to review it. The structure of the PR perhaps opens up broader questions. The author has some new code, along with a PDF documenting it, and it is currently not designed to be incorporated into the existing sage.matroids module, but as more of a standalone piece of code.
