The SSL module still doesn't return much information from the

about the certificate subject. You can't retrieve issuer information,

With the latest flaps about phony cert issuers, it's worth
having issuer info available. It was available in the old M2Crypto
module, but not in the current Python SSL module.
Check the tracker to see if there is an issue about this already. If
not, open one with a specific feature request.
