Giovanni,

ILU is a core Matlab function so it should go into core Octave in principle
as Marco suggested.


On the other hand, Octave has more strict requirements for accepting contributed code than Octave-Forge,
so I suggest you start by contributing your function to the Octave-Forge in the package linear_algebra 
and then we can help you moving it into Octave later.

Anyway it is a good idea to ask on the maintainers list as well to know if someone else is working on this.

Here is some general info about contributing to Octave:
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Contributing-Guidelines.html#Contributing-Guidelines

and to Octave Forge:

Welcome to Octave!
