This is my personal guess based on the reference below. I think that the person didn't want to discuss about the superfluous range of measures from the eMaturity.

Demi Ebrite
: I agree - bringing up the topic to make a broad statement 'risks' opening many points of contention regarding eGovernment - the opening statement acknowledges that fact, (at the risk of) and moves past it to make a point.

though it may cause [someone or something] to
In this case, "Though it may cause me to enter into a superfluous discussion about" (i.e., "Though I may be telling you what you already know about"). This seems to be what the author intends. Note, however, that the sentence is not really grammatical or logical (in fact it's a non sequitur) since the first half promises a discussion of measures but the second half instead states an opinion about the progress to date.
