Hi!

The project is currently not being worked on.

Mainly design work has been done so far; no code has been written.
See:   https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-March/012001.html
       https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-March/012073.html

I suggest you pick it up by fleshing out the design work and seeing if
it works for you, and then checking out the code to see where you need
to inject the code. Perhaps you can also get in touch with Jaskaran
Singh (jvsg1303 at gmail.com) who did all the previous design work to see
if he is interested in collaborating!

Cheers!
