There are so many functions looks quite excellent in the folder of

Doed the project has a schedule?
Back in 1999, some NSS developers began a project, code named "Stan"
(named after Stan Marsh) to rewrite NSS from the ground up with a new
API that was more like C++. All the functions you named above, which
are of the form NSS<class>_<method>, were part of the new Stan API for
NSS. The Stan project is no longer under development.
However, the good news is that NSS already does all those things. The
present API is somewhat less uniform than the Stan API was to have been,
but the functionality is basically all there. It's what mozilla and
numerous other products use today.
