I read the mailing lists.  There was no question on your email, and
therefore there is nothing to answer.  You might be interested on the
"Steps Toward a Successful Application" of the wiki page [1].

Maybe you will be interested in parallelizing some of the Octave code.  But
just saying that you know how to do it is of little value.  You will need to be
already be involved in development to be accepted, even if it's not directly
related to your project.
