I've planning on building octave 4.4 soon (next day or two) in rawhide. I've been building dependent packages here:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/scitech/octave4.4/packages/
Anyone in the scitech group can submit builds there if needed.
Notes on needed changes to packages are here:

I'm going to start working on PRs for the various changes for maintainers to review. Of note:
- swig requires updating to a git snapshot to get octave 4.4 support - pfstools needs an update to 2.1.0 - NLopt updated to 2.5.0 - switches to using cmake
