I apologise for the lack of response. To reiterate what Steve Marquess has said: changes are coming, big changes for the better and I hope they can be finalised in the near future and we can give more details. Until now most of it has been behind the scenes and not visible to the wider OpenSSL community. Speaking for myself. I've contributed a significant amount to the OpenSSL project not least of which is the last 15 years of my life. While I have spent a great deal of my free time on OpenSSL I have also been driven by commercial necessity. That meant I had to give some priority to matters which actually paid the bills. That can and will change and I hope to working on OpenSSL full time in the near future along with several of my colleagues. Improving our response to community input will be a high priority. So I would say this: things will improve soon. I only ask you please be patient a little while longer. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. OpenSSL project core developer.
