Reviewing Octave Forge packages

Help reviewing Octave-Forge packages

We need help. Here is how:

. Pick a package at https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/package-releases/
. Copy the check-list below and fill it out, marking each box with `[ ]` with `[x]` for passed, `[n/a]` for non-applicable, `[S]` for skipped (because you cannot) and `[F]` for fails.
. Paste your filled in check-list as a comment on the issue above

Checklist

[ ] release candidate installed on latest Octave release
[ ] no compiler errors or serious warnings
[ ] ran all tests using runtests (including tests in the src dir)
[ ] ran doctest on all functions (optional)
[ ] Above steps were run on Octave versions:
     *  ________ [provide list]
[ ] Run generate_package_html
[ ] no makeinfo errors and warnings during HTML build
[ ] unpacked and spot-checked the generated HTML documentation
[ ] NEWS file makes sense, version and date match
[ ] All functions are listed in INDEX

TODO: incorporate into above list

It would be good to document common problems that reviewers can check for, things like

INDEX is missing some new functions added
NEWS has not been updated or is missing something big
Version numbers or dates do not match between DESCRIPTION and NEWS
Common makeinfo errors like "@bye seen before @end deftypefn"
DESCRIPTION says pkg works with old Octave 4.x but it fails for me
Obviously, compiler errors, warnings, test failures
