> by improving the codebase of OpenSSL

Just to clarify: LibreSSL forked OpenSSL [1]. By definition they did not improve the codebase of OpenSSL.

Didnt most of their changes get merged back?

Most of the LibreSSL changes were removing features or platform support so I don't know how many of their changes were desired or applicable to OpenSSL.

Source on this?
