I checked them both (they use the same name matlab-mode, which makes
cloning fun)

The first one had his last entry Jul 24:

| Author: Andrzej Pronobis <a.p...@gm...>

|     Fixed error when no matlab found.

And a lot of entries Mar 19, most likely the day he made the
immigration. Just of these entries reads as:
,----
| commit 8618a2b530a23df54751d6e4a5ba3d7c8cbda824
| Author: Andrzej Pronobis <a.p...@gm...>
| Date:   Thu Mar 19 21:00:24 2015 -0700

|     Readme

The other are similar, before that
,----
| commit f7594986a685882bbe856b99be1cb4ea1eab91a6
| Author: Eric M. Ludlam <>
| Date:   Sat Dec 27 12:44:52 2014 +0000
`----

So it does not look like a very active development.

Yuhonglin is more active:

but his mode seems quite a bit different.

So I think it would be best to ask the authors, 

    -  what there fork is about (which are the new features)

    -  whether they are willing to merge back (if that is possible)
