Though you could infer my opinion, I was not trying to create a
political debate as you allude. I'm sure many users would agree that
the A&A bill is profoundly relevant and "on-topic" considering OpenSSL
has an Australian developer. I simply wanted a clear statement so I can
make an informed decision whether or not I should use OpenSSL in future
projects. I now have my answer. Thank you.

the silence is deafening
"OpenSSL" doesn't have a "policy stance" on anything. It's a software
package.
This is openssl-users, not
openssl-official-opinions-of-the-OpenSSL-Foundation. Or
openssl-political-discussions, for that matter.
I imagine many people who are subscribed to this list are not in favor
of the legislation in question. However, that is not a subject
pertinent to the list, and openssl-users remains valuable to its
subscribers in large part because most of the traffic remains
on-topic.
There are plenty of forums where people have expressed, and continue
to express, their opinions of the Assistance and Access Bill. That
includes numerous cryptography and security experts, and
representatives of organizations which are active in those areas. Some
random posts in openssl-users will not materially change the course or
weight of that discussion.
