It's been made by a whole bunch of very competent persons, some time
ago. Long before your post. I'm sorry that you may have gotten the
impression that OpenSSH is ruled by Damien, although I don't think
too many would mind if it was, that isn't the case, it's just that he
was the first one to respond to your question with the developer
consensus.

I'm also sorry you don't seem to mind getting tangled in threads, since
it can really kill performance and security, which by the way happens
to be two things I really appreciate in OpenSSH.

I'll refrain from making a sarcastic Windows+threads=true comment now.

Please trust that OpenSSH is a functional open source project, and if
you doubt that it really is, spend some time to read up on the subject
and comment on shortcomings with good background. Or even better, file
a bug about the project in bugzilla! =)

All the best to you and everyone else helping out in this great project!
