Scouting report
Bermuda engineer and standards-body contributor driving CA/Browser Forum PKI work
assessed from open-source footprint
Principal
35signal
Stephen Davidson stands out for real, verifiable contribution: 109 commits last year and 215 merged PRs, much of it on CAB Forum repositories including 104 commits to cabforum.org and 5 to the S/MIME baseline requirements. His own repo (QES-SMIME-BR) drafts eIDAS Qualified Electronic Signature language for the S/MIME BR, consistent with deep PKI and digital-certificate expertise (tied to DigiCert). Personal original output is thin, but his value is as an active maintainer of widely-used certificate standards rather than a builder of starred side projects.
