Contributors to the OpenSSL Library (July 2025)

[Blog on OpenSSL Library]

In July, [58 pull
requests](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3A%22approval%3A+ready+to+merge%22+-author%3Aopenssl-
machine+created%3A2025-07-01..2025-07-31) were approved for merge into the
OpenSSL Library code base. There were also four people who contributed code
for the first time:

* [yzpgryx](https://github.com/yzpgryx) provided a [fix to support the SM2 PEM format](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/27963) with matching tests.
* [caolanm](https://github.com/caolanm) designated an unchanging structure [to be constant](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/28029).
* [igus68](https://github.com/igus68) found a [good first issue](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/27506) and [fixed it](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/28080). Before this fix, the [OpenSSL cryptographic library](https://docs.openssl.org/3.0/man7/crypto/) would accept a [certificate revocation list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_revocation_list) that was invalid according to the [X.509 Public Key Infrastructure specification](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5280.html#section-5.2.5). Fun fact: Igor Ustinov represents the Individuals community on the [Foundation Technical Advisory Committee](https://openssl-communities.org/hub-foundation-tac/) and this is his first pull request. And he's on a roll with [another pull request](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/28160) that addresses [an issue](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/24584) with the [help wanted](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22help%20wanted%22) label.
* [Saurabh825](https://github.com/Saurabh825) corrected the [order of options](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/28123) for the [asn1parse command](https://docs.openssl.org/master/man1/openssl-cmds/).

So far in the development cycle of OpenSSL 3.6, the [plurality of
changes](https://status.openssl.org/versions/3.6/#companies-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.
