Licensing question- StringMatcher.py rewrite and MIT license

In a previous thread is says-

Thats because we mistakenly vendored something that was GPL - fuzzywuzzy/StringMatcher.py - and no one has stepped up to rewrite it. Because GPL2 is viral, the whole thing became GPL2, so thats about it.

Does this mean that if someone does rewrite the StringMatcher.py library you'd be willing to release this as an MIT project? If so I would be willing to take this on.
