A couple of remarks, 

    1. this diff seems against an older matlab-mode version (may the one
       in sourceforge), the latest github version is 6.2
       https://github.com/mathworks/Emacs-MATLAB-Mode.git

    2. Jonas Bernoulli one of the MELPA maintainers, recommended (but
       did not demand) to add file called matlab-mode.el which is
       basically a dummy file but also contains the current version

There is an automated process for checking this. If I had known, it
would have saved my quite a bit of time and work. I eyeballed the logs
and if there was an unknown author I checked the diff, and if necessary
contacted him.

    1. I will add an elpaignore file, which is urgent,

    2. And concerning the version number, what shall I do, your proposal
       or Stefan's?

For the moment being I would like to keep the MELPA version as well till
I know ELPA works
