Editing Reviewing Octave Forge packages

{{Note|More than one person can review a package, in fact that would be great.}}

The reviewing procedure in short:

# Pick a package at https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/package-releases/
# Copy the check-list below and fill it out, marking each box:
#* <code>[x]</code> for successfully passed
#* <code>[ ]</code> for not done / error (please give below the checklist a brief reason)
# Paste your filled in check-list as a comment on the issue above
# An [https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/_members/ Octave Forge Admin] will try to look over your review and hopefully release the package.
