Hi Lukasz032
It's not the author of the software, but the  extension-by  field listed in the info file:

--- Code: ---Title:          openssl-1.0.0.tcz
Description:    The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
Version:        1.0.0k
Author:         OpenSSL Project
Original-site:  http://www.openssl.org
Copying-policy: OpenSSL license
Size: 1.5M
Extension_by:   Jason W, bmarkus
Tags:           CRYPTO CLI LIBRARY
Comments:       Binaries only
--- End code ---

Lukasz032:
Yes, I know :) You attached an .info from 5.* (which is waaaaaay more outdated, by the way).
For 6.* and 7.* the .tcz author is gordons64, whose account does not exist here.

Rich:
Hi Lukasz032
OK, I think he deleted his account. In that case you can submit an update.

Hi Lukaz032   the point is the author is "OpenSSL Project"  not Gordon64.   
Also it is the Extension Maintainer who is owed the customary request to update his or her extension.  Maybe it was a typo but IMO the last person to update an extension shouldn't remove previous and/or original extension maintainers even if they changed the extension name slightly, as we loose history for one reason...   

I'm sure we are all grateful for your efforts, thanks

It is not mentioned to which version of openssl will be updated. Be careful not to break other packages with incompatible updates.
