I think OpenSSL should be focusing on fixing its performance problems rather than on a QUIC implementation that nobody is interested in.
I think this is a sentiment most of everyone (outside of the OpenSSL project) would agree with.
Personally, I think a Rust implementation would be better. Hopefully the people behind https://memorysafety.org can fund someone to work on stabilizing it and getting it used in distros.
There are several QUIC stacks written in Rust [1] and one of them, quiche, we already have (experimental) support for in curl.
So far we have seen little demand for the Rust alternatives among (lib)curl users.
