Follow-up Comment #3, bug #40543 (project octave):

It is not meant to be a joke. The Mordor bit was, but to me changing the name
seems obvious.

Google probably works for you because the only context you use octave in is
gnu octave.

Octave is a mathematical concept of multiplying a frequency by two. Further
GNU Octave is a math program so any searches for GNU Octave solutions are
dilute. Aka needle in hay stack, and discouraging for beginners.

Even changing the spelling to something more unique like Octuv would help
users find and post GNU Octave specific solutions tenfold.

I didnt know where to post "suggested enhancements". On other projects I have
worked on it was within the bug tracking system. I will bring this up on the
maintainers' mailing list if that is the appropriate place. Thanks
