September has come and gone, so it’s past time to recognize new contributors to the OpenSSL Library:

| bleeqer | 2025-09-29 | ts_conf: fix memory leak in TS_CONF_set_policies |
Here are more details on a sample of these pull requests.
- The change from xiaoloudongfeng fixed an off-by-one error that would generate incorrect signatures in specific (and unlikely) combinations of algorithms.
- By editing the documentation, ritesh006 made life just a bit easier for future developers who use that function.
- leesugil took up an issue logged by ashamedbit caused by an updated table in FIPS 186-5.
- Jonathan Reimer, VP Developer Products at The Linux Foundation added our Health Score badge. (OpenSSL received an “Excellent” score, by the way.)
Small changes that improve the OpenSSL Library add up over time. Ideally first-time contributors “graduate” into regular contributors. That only happens when a community has practice on-boarding new volunteers month after month.
