you need a clean .spec file that builds from pristine sources + patches.
One option would be to base your spec off what is in openssl-centos4,
that way you should just be able to follow upstream for bugfix and
security issues.
once you have this done, post the .spec file and any patches you have to
the centos-devel list. We'd then pick it up and move it via qa to the
testing repo and then finally the Extras/ repo.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
