Looking at the original paper (http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/vsam/P...), and at this page http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/db/d5c/t..., the question is:
There is already an implementation of the Stauffer & Grimson algorithm in opencv ?
No that exact algorithm, I don't think. Very similar though.
The algorithms in OpenCV are much more modern, and likely more accurate and faster. They should function just fine for whatever you were using the Stauffer & Grimson algorithm for.
I might be completely wrong here, but as far as I scrolled through the mentioned paper, I do not see it do anything else than building an adaptive gaussian mixture model and updating it accordingly. This is exactly what the BackgroundSubtractorGMG does...
The papers for the algorithms used in OpenCV are

I don't understand your link to python do. Was it this link?
