smr> I'm surprised that nobody has responded. I feel I need to raise a little bit of awareness here. The OpenSSL Project is entirely volunteer driven, and as such, we (those having write access to the repository) are working mostly on our free time. This means that there are a ton of other facets of life playing in, including looking for jobs (and jobs in this field are still a bit scarse), *doing* your job (which may or may not be related to OpenSSL), taking care of the family, taking care of your self. Just to give you a picture of what life can be like, I've been silent to the almost extreme for a while, because I'm dealing with very deep family issues, and have to contemplate seeing my son move to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, which has had a huge impact on my emotional self, and my capacity to focus. I've used the little external focus I had left to do my job properly, and to plan for my future (next job, other projects that I'm barely keeping alive, ...). I haven't even looked at the OpenSS bugs database for ages (= a few months, which is a lot considering I used to look at the stuff there about twice a day before that). So, I'd like to ask for a little bit of patience with us, as we all have some kind of life we need to take care of and make a priority as well. Thanks for listening.
