Contributors to the OpenSSL Library (July 2025)

In July, 58 pull requests were approved for merge into the OpenSSL Library code base. There were also four people who contributed code for the first time:

• yzpgryx provided a fix to support the SM2 PEM format with matching tests.
• caolanm designated an unchanging structure to be constant.
• igus68 found a good first issue and fixed it. Before this fix, the OpenSSL cryptographic library would accept a certificate revocation list that was invalid according to the X.509 Public Key Infrastructure specification. Fun fact: Igor Ustinov represents the Individuals community on the Foundation Technical Advisory Committee and this is his first pull request. And he’s on a roll with another pull request that addresses an issue with the help wanted label.
• Saurabh825 corrected the order of options for the asn1parse command.

So far in the development cycle of OpenSSL 3.6, the plurality of changes come from developers paid by either the OpenSSL Corporation or Foundation. But individual contributions continue to make up a large proportion of commits (41%) and overall changes (28%). Additionally individual committers also have done 18.5% of reviews so far.
