Not at the moment ; but we should definitely meet and see where we could join our efforts.

We already discussed some ideas on IRC a while ago ; since ocp-index is much lighter-weight, and uses a different approach, that would probably be in the direction of Merlin using some parts of it (eg. as a fallback in some cases)

 

I'm not sure about this specific problem though, since ocp-index uses a pocket-sized hand-written parser to gather that kind of info, where Merlin already has the full grammar.
