New code is always welcome.
Keep in mind that SCons has a long standing policy of not adding/changing code without an accompanying test which should fail before the code change and pass afterwards.  (There are some exceptions to this, but in general we require tests).  If you can provide the code change, preferrably with test and doc changes that would simplify getting your changes into SCons.

Hope that helps,
