The current version of pymc3 uses theano as the backend which would also need to be included in the repo. However, the development of Theano is officially stopped. I think it is better to wait for the next release of pymc to package it since it will use tensorflow as the backend.

As this task has been marked Needs Maintainer for a month with nobody having stepped up to become maintainer, in addition to providing an acceptable patch for inclusion, marking as WONTFIX. Feel free to re-open when a patch has been submitted via the proper processes.
