No date is currently fixed, but we're hoping for a release in the near
future.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I'd personally like to see your
functions in Octave core.

For this, I'd say 'maintainers'. I'd recommend starting a thread on this
list about creating 3D patches in gnuplot. Just sketch your idea and see
if people have any comments. Perhaps somebody tried your idea before and
failed. At least the right people will be able to guide you in the right
direction.

Thanks for the effort :-)
