How we determine feature priorities within OpenSSL is a multi-step process
involving community input to the OpenSSL Foundation (which is what you are
linking to there) and to the OpenSSL Corporation and then discussions
within the elected representatives of each community advising the
Foundation and Corporation boards and then final decisions after that (with
announcement).

There is no sense as yet of "a top priority" as such and there is always
more on the ask list for a new release that there are resources and time to
be able to add everything in.

However DTLS 1.3 is definitely in the mix of things being considered. It
was also in the list of things for OpenSSL-3.5 but didn't make it - PQC
support became a higher priority once NIST released the final standards for
ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA.

Joining the communities site and providing input via
https://openssl-communities.org/ is how to influence these sorts of
decisions and input and participation is very much welcome.

Tim.
