You clone the openssl git repo, create your own branch off master, apply the diffs you are mailing to the list, and commit/push and then make a PR.  Yes it's a bit of work for you.  But it then becomes near-zero work for anyone on openssl to look at it.

It's all about trade-offs.  Multiple people have said multiple times that PR's are the best way to work with OpenSSL.  If those other groups, individually or collectively, are higher on your priority list, that's fine.  But do understand what's going on.

Sorry, I'll push to get the bylaws made public, is that what you need?

And no, it's not irrelevant.  If this is ever going to appear in OpenSSL, a CLA must be signed.
