It doesn’t have any maintainer -- I have just accepted contributions  
from users of Matlab.

Seems reasonable.

I wasn’t entirely sure how to scope these, so I placed them in these  
three groups (the Matlab bundle seems to call must things just a  
function):

     {   name = 'storage.modifier.matlab';
         match = '\b(varargin|varargout)\b';
     },
     {   name = 'keyword.control.matlab';
         match = '\b(case|otherwise)\b';
     },
     {   name = 'keyword.other.matlab';
         match = '\b(inputname|get|findobj|allchild|dbstack|stop| 
waitbar)\b';
     },

I am not a Matlab user myself, but I would certainly welcome someone  
who wants to improve the bundle -- as mentioned, it has no  
maintainer, and it never had, so there is room for improvements :)
