I am not sure that I agree that the problem is
structural.  I don't think John has been ignoring
any code that has been contributed to him.  I don't
think it can get much easier than:

        1. Develop wonderful, well documented functions 
           for Octave.

        2. Create a diff file.

        3. Send it to John, and let him integrate it.

Having a CVS repository, or something similar only changes
step 2 a little bit.  Maybe I'm mistaken.
