A new blog post gives more details: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2016/10/12/f2f-rt-github/ Effective immediately, RT is being retired, please create GitHub issues instead. The website has been update; the README and CONTRIBUTING files in each release branch will be done soon. There'll be another post on closing old tickets soon. GitHub pull requests are also now the only real way to request changes. In addition, the dev team will use GitHub for all its own PR's. Our private repo will only be done for security fixes that cannot start out immediately "in public." We're excited by these changes, and hope that they provide increased transparency, and increased engagement with our community. We hope you're excited too! -Rich Salz, Dev Team Member
