If the package is called `matlab-mode`, then here's the updated
definition that I would use in matlab-mode.el:

    (defconst matlab-mode-version
      (package-version-join
       (package-desc-version (cadr (assq 'matlab-mode package-alist))))
      "Current version of MATLAB(R) mode.")

In matlab-mode.el, you already have the version already in the form of
the version header, i.e. the line that reads:

    ;; Version: 6.2

This line does not need changing until you want to bump the version.

> But what is meant by «bump the Version header"

Every time you push a commit that updates the version header, that is
the above line in matlab-mode.el, with a higher version number, that
means that you "bump the version header".

The GNU ELPA scripts will then take that as an indication that it should
release a new version based on that commit, and do it.
