I stand corrected regarding the libressl repo, Regarding active development, it still doesn't look that busy.

Sure more people committing but several days with no changes, vs the commit changes on OpenSSL.

OpenBSD is about to tag 5.7 for release. During the release window commits normally drop to only include minor changes. Once the tree is tagged all the patches sitting in the developers private trees can go in.

Regarding libressl I'm not sure how it works, but I think the OpenBSD cvs server is a better source that the github repo (http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libssl/), but I'm not sure.

Also I'm not sure that a rapid flow of commits are necessarily a good indicator of quality.
