Those functions would belong in the Octave-Forge mapping package, see here:
https://octave.sourceforge.io/mapping/index.html

You can upload contributions to the Octave patch tracker, see here:
https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=octave
If you peruse that patch tracker you'll find several contributions to the
mapping package, and if you follow the discussions in those patch reports
you'll get a feeling of how the process works.
Please make sure you first make yourself comfortable with Octave's (GNU)
coding style. As mapping package maintainer I'd also like to see proper
input validation.

And there's a wiki page on the patch tracker, see:
https://wiki.octave.org/Mapping_package

Good luck!

Philip
