I'd like to draw your attention to this PR that I just created: https://github.com/openssl/web/pull/143
This represents a significant update to the project by-laws so we'd like to gather feedback from the community on the proposal. This was discussed at some length at the recent OMC and commmitter face-2-face meetings in Nuremburg, but has not yet gone to an OMC vote. The idea is to split the current responsibilities of the OMC into two. We would retain the OMC for overall management of the project. The OMC would own the requirements, and make decisions around what features and platforms we are going to support, as well as decisions around release timing, support and EOL etc. A newly formed group, the OpenSSL Technical Committee (OTC), would have responsibilities for making technical decisions around design, architecture, testing, documentation, etc. Responsibility for PR approvals would move from the OMC to the OTC. You can think of it like the OMC owning the answers to WHAT questions, with the OTC owning HOW questions. Please take a look. Matt
