So, go back through the bug reports and submit patches that add
tests.  No one is preventing you from doing this.  Our community still
seems somewhat short of active contributors given that Octave is a
relatively large project.  So I'm sure that it would be appreciated if
you (or anyone else) contributed to Octave by adding tests.
