Priorities for OpenSSL 3.6

The question about priorities for the 3.6 release has been asked: https://openssl-communities.org/d/HCdTYIoN/priorities-for-3-6

What priorities do the committers think are beneficial?

Are there any other items you think should be added to the list?

It seems the link to the poll is somehow lost so I am repeating it here:

The results are in and indicate two clear leaders in the wants list.

I've used the median response instead of the mean for each category because the former is more robust against extreme values. It makes small differences to the ordering but it better highlights the strength of the desire for the first two items.

Thanks to those that voted, your input will be useful.
