Hi, this is good. Please do note that we will participate as a project
inside GNU not as an independent mentoring organization.
Also the code you should be looking at is the one in this branch
https://bitbucket.org/carandraug/octave/commits/all/13d1e9bfa362/branch(%22pkg%22)

There is already quite some advances (you will find pkg a lot simpler
there) and you should try to continue form there or improve them if
you see any opportunity.
