[openssl-dev] About Chinese crypto-algorithms

There are a couple of draft standards available:

SM2 DSA: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shen-sm2-ecdsa-02
SM3 Hash: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shen-sm3-hash-01

Neither of these two looks like it would be difficult to implement.

I've not located English versions of the other algorithms but I haven't looked too deeply.

Also, please know that we are already looking at several large projects (TLS 1.3, FIPS, etc).  In my personal opinion, I would be surprised if anyone on the team had a lot of time to spend on this.  We have already turned down Camellia-GCM, for example.

An English specification, test vectors, and a complete implementation as a Pull Request are the most likely ways for it to happen.  Even better would be to implement it as a separate ENGINE, like Gost is.  Then we only need to reserve a few #define's for you.
