Description

How is the workflow of making changes to node:crypto or WebCryptoAPI supposed to work now?

I've had branches ready to go that are now invalid with ncrypto being in place (i'm revisiting some many months old work)

  • How are updates to ncrypto propagated to nodejs/node?
  • What is the release process like? Who controls it?
  • Given I need to make changes to ncrypto as well as node's src & lib how am I to proceed?

Start by reviewing the ncrypto repository and the nodejs/node integration points referenced in the issue, including Node's src and lib areas. Determine how ncrypto updates propagate, who controls releases, and how coordinated changes should be made. Done means documenting a clear workflow for these three questions.
