Really interesting library, but I doubt you will get what you expect
in this list, neither in the -dev list because as it is a library and
AFAIK there's no applications requiring it, I doubt they'll want to
add it to the main repository, but sure there's a place in gentoo for
the library, the gentoo-science project[1], you can try create a
github issue[2] requesting the add of the library there. You could
also find more folks interested in it, this list I would say is mostly
sysadmin/troubled-user stuff. If I find time I might try to make the
ebuild and send pull request to the science repo, but I haven't
learned much about CMake, so I would have to learn a bit more about it
first.

Regards, and thank you for the spread of such Important type software
in a FOSS way.
