Is there anyone who actually cares about DTLS and getting patches
applied?
Very good question. I hope someone will apply at least the bugfixes
soon. I have several patches adding new features in the pipe, but they
understandably rely on the bugfixes. However, I'll probably publish a
list of patches on a website with an explanation which of them have to
be applied in which order for a feature. Not very satisfying, but that
seems to be the only solution by now.
I've had patches to make OpenSSL capable of talking to production
servers out there in the wild, which use the OpenSSL-specific pre-RFC
version of DTLS.... and I've been able to write a complete VPN client
along with NetworkManager support, and get it into Linux
distributions,
in the time it's taken to get the patch into OpenSSL... and I'm still
waiting...
It's getting to the point where I wonder if it would be quicker and
easier just to reimplement DTLS in GNUTLS and use that.
Ya, I also thought about that already, but was afraid of starting from
scratch yet.

Robin
