Hey, who's a maintainer? It all depends as far as I see on your
motivation to maintain the code.. However, the general line drawn on
what goings into Octave or octave-forge is based on whether the
equivalent functionality is a core matlab functionality. There are
exceptions of course...

Is the Matlab Engine your code or is it something more generic? If its
generic then it makes sense to try and have a class that performs with
Octave with the same API such that application written for one interface
can use the other.
