Adding a repo to sources.list will probably get it working, but
gNewSense should be self-hosting and complete [1]. So the steps to
include MATE or any other software are:

- verify if software is free
- verify how committed upstream is to software freedom
- check if it builds with the tools in our release and patch if
  necessary
- check if it integrates with the software in our release and patch if
  necessary
- add/replace branding
- package, build and test
- keep track of (security) updates
- update and translate our documentation if necessary
- support users on IRC and mailing list
- update our Live configuration if appropriate
- generate and test alternate Live images if appropriate
