Olaf,
do I need to wait until this vote has happened ? If yes, when will this
vote take place? (Out of curiosity - who is eligible to vote ?)

I'm not sure I understand; what difference does it make whether it
corresponds to a Matlab toolbox ?

I'm not sure I understand; what do you mean by "[taking a] .. package
off .. Octave Forge" ? And even a "community" package is usually
maintained on Octave Forge - why would you take it off ? Do I need to
worry about this - or is this about some other unrelated issue ?

The two links
https://octave.sourceforge.io/dev-descr-two-groups.php
https://octave.sourceforge.io/common-requirements.php
do not contain any language about requiring a specific (i.e.
octave-only) coding style. This is good and addresses my main concern.
This will allow maintaining compatibility to both target platforms,
Matlab and Octave, and no code-duplication would be necessary.
In summary, yes, this seems more than acceptable to me, Actually, if I
understand this correctly, it's not only "acceptable" but matches the
desired solution.
