If you think you can write a better implementation then put your hands where your keyboard is. Show us the code.
If not, submit patches.
An OpenSSL team member said, "If you're in a position to offer technical criticism you're in a position to offer technical help." While it sounds like their pleading for help, its because WE ARE. There are 3 full time maintainers, 1 is a dog :P and only ~10-16 regular patch submitters.
- ctz 11y agoThe bit you don't cover is where you repeatedly submit patches (in my case, for example, to fix documentation and improve testing) which are ignored.
- Alupis 11y agoThis is not true anymore. At the time, OpenSSL had really a single maintainer, and was only receiving $2,000 a year in "donations". Not exactly something to keep someone working full time on the project with. A lot of that has now changed with the Core Infrastructure Initiative.
- richm44 11y agoI do agree the situation is now better, but personally I've still found contributing to be a lot harder than it should be even for trivial fixes.
