So?

I think the original title was more informative. Basically, they have added 6 new people as regular contributors.

EDIT: Here is the web.archive.org from April, you can see the difference in the "current OpenSSL development team" section:

Wow, that website has not changed its style in over 14 years.[1]

Their web development practices closely match their software development practices.

How much bootstrap your website uses is not at all related to the quality of your product.

I believe McGlockenshire was describing a relation (correlation) that very much so does exist (both openssl and the website are old & crusty) and that McGlockenshire does not mean to imply that the OpenSSL would become a better library if they updated their website with bootstrap (causation).

Except that even here, using HTML and CSS that is 14 years old does not by itself imply that the website is "old & crusty".

I wonder why Geoff Thorpe has "QC", which I assume is Quebec, as his country code. Quebec is a province in Canada.

The page is 2021-ready.

While others used their country code, he might have simply differed in his interpretation of "location". Seems pretty ignorable. Or he's a separatist in which case, meh, whatever. Might as well have some outlet for it, given its increasing irrelevance.

England is also part of Britain and the United Kingdom, but is also a nation, something many would prefer Quebec to be recognized as.
