Thanks for the PR, @andredif, but could you provide some context for the changes and a status update?

Hi Sebastian,
thank you for the question.After having customized a PQ keys generator, and having written the Rust code which implements the Pair trait for the PQ keys, I'm currently at the point where I must derive a valid Substrate address from the PQ keys, and then use all this in the subkey scripts in order to create tests.
Sadly, I was practically unable to work on this since March, because I was fully employed and the work load was simply unbearable.
I then recently reached an agreement with my current employer, with which I will employed at 60% of the time, so I can have enough time to work on this project.

Thanks for the info, @andredif. I'll share it with the rest of the committee.
