Is there interest in adding the negative binomial distribution to rand_distr? The method is straightforward, and can be found in Devroye's book Non-Uniform Random Variate Generation (section X.4.7). Existing implementations include statrs, Julia (in JuliaStats), boost/random and NumPy. I can submit a pull request if there is interest.

I went ahead and created a pull request with an implementation: #1296. Even if it turns out there is no interest in adding this to rand_distr, it was worthwhile for me to learn more about the conventions used in rand and rand_distr.
