> Apparently that's a list for people developing apps *with* openssl, and the openssl devs don't all read it.

That's what Ben Laurie said, but the web page for OpenSSL support says different:

Discussions on development of the OpenSSL library. Not for application development questions!

So it would seem like a reasonable place to ask questions of that nature.

The README distributed with openssl also says to submit patches to 
openssl-dev. And the FAQ on openssl.org ("How can I contact the OpenSSL 
developers?") says to look in the README.

OK, I'll go and be quiet in the corner for not fact-checking before

Well, don't feel so bad. The OpenSSL developers also didn't bother fact-checking either. ;)

If a member of the OpenSSL team got it wrong, you can hardly blame yourself for believing him.
