Hi Kafka Team. Looks like the code freeze of 3.6.0 release done. I hope that community members have more time for review.
Please pay your attention for the KIP-967: Support custom SSL configuration for Kafka Connect RestServer [1]. The purpose of this KIP is add ability to use custom SSL factory to configure Kafka Connect RestServer. It looks like the interface 'SslEngineFactory' may be used with simple adapters. The prototype of the patch is available on PR#14203 [2]. It is not a final/clean patch yet. Just for demo & discuss. Thanks in advance for leaving a review!
