Hi Alois,

Unfortunately, it seems to me that there *are* objections.  Indeed, the 
current OF admins are Olaf Till and Oliver Heimlich, and :

1) Oliver seems to think that the package should be maintained in 
"Octave style" (*) unless it is placed in the "external group".

2) Olaf seems to think that the package should be in the "community" 
group (**).

Good luck with the negotiations ;-))

(*) which, apparently, means using # instead of % among other things.

(**) however, to this day, no one in the community actually cared enough 
about this package to actually maintain it...
