zl523856 started by submitting an issue that asking about the proposed change. The pull request includes some assembly code that improves the performance of the AES-128-CBC decryption algorithm on the RISC-V architecture. It’s not the sort of code that just anyone can write. Open source projects, such as OpenSSL, can benefit from one-time contributions of expertise. In turn, anyone who uses OpenSSL or products that include the library also benefit. It’s a beautiful thing.
If you’d like to contribute some code, take a look at the Getting Started as a Contributor page. If that’s not your thing, there are other ways to get involved in the OpenSSL Project too.
