But if we have to spend time going through support requests and to keep something maintained that we ourselves have no intrinsic motivation to support, I will advocate to set/change the status of wolfSSL in OpenVPN to "unmaintained".

Agreed.

If wolfSSL support is expected to work in OpenVPN, those interested in wolfSSL need to be far more active and follow the OpenVPN development to ensure the support still functions and performs as expected.

The wolfSSL support has so far had quite little impact on growing the OpenVPN user or development base, so there is little motivation or even reasons for the OpenVPN community to take ownership of this. Don't expect the wolfSSL support to be tested much at all by the community developers. On the other side, we do see that wolfSSL has more a benefit of slamming the "works with OpenVPN" label on wolfSSL. But don't count on the OpenVPN community doing the grunt work for wolfSSL.

Either be more actively involved - or accept we will move it to an unmaintained status - plausibly removing it if it stays broken for a longer time.
