patches would be very welcome. so far noone had a smart card with anything besides RSA, so only RSA is implemented in most parts of the chain (openct or pcscd + driver, opensc, libp11, engine_pkcs11, and other software using opensc or a pkcs#11 module). also many years ago there was no standard for elliptic curves. did that change? and are there free curves/algorithms/... that can be used by everyone, or is elliptic curve a copyright/patent minefield? even if there are issues, I guess implementing support in engine_pkcs11 and libp11 would be ok, as we are only the middle layer passing data from one API to another. (I guess the issues would only affect software and hardware implementations - e.g. openssl, openssh, smart card vendors, but not the higher level software stacks including all projects hosted on opensc-projects.org.) there are no plans from our side - at least I don't remember anyone working on this, and most projects are more or less asleep - we fix small issues and apply patches, but there is no major development happening right now.
