Rich, you are my personal hero for all the work you do on OpenSSL (active in discussions, a lot of PR reviews, RT cleanup ...) but from my point of view it is really hard to contribute code to OpenSSL. I have already mentioned in comments [2][3] that I am particularly interested in getting PR#576 and PR#771 into 1.1 but IMO it is too hard to attract the attention of the rest of core devs - reviewed PR is waiting on GitHub, bug is opened in RT, message was posted to openssl-dev mailinglist. I feel really sorry for the authors of PR's that got first review but their code won't get into 1.1 because of missing second review. I know their pain since I've been waiting 5 years for the inclusion of my last patch [4] but let's hope it will get better for 1.2 :) [2] https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/576#issuecomment-189364178 [3] https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/771#issuecomment-193145172 [4] https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2145&user=guest&pass=guest
