Right Now:
# {{bug|436414}}, OCSP client should be able to use HTTP GET as well as POST
# Bug {{nbug|650858}} and bug {{nbug|619198}} - Instantiating nsICertOverrideService at startup throws NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE and makes Firefox unusable / nsStrictTransportSecurityService can be created off main thread and uses non-threadsafe nsPermissionManager
# {{bug|558253}}, Proxy Auto Config (PAC) Extended functions for multi-resolution and ipv6
# Bug {{nbug|624514}} - PSM accesses pref service off the main thread - have patch, need to test.
# Bug {{nbug|640625}} - PKCS#12 does not iterate hashing - patch needs to be checked in
# Bug {{nbug|593077}} - Remove SSL 2.0 support  - almost done, need to tweak patch
# Bug {{nbug|665814}} - [hidden] - Need to update patch based on feedback from Oracle
# bug {{nbug|590364}} - Stop accepting MD5 as a hash algorithm by June 30, 2011
# bug {{nbug|650355}} - Stop accepting MD5 as a hash algorithm in PSM on June 30, 2011
# bug {{nbug|674147}} - Remove the SSL thread - preliminary WIP patch in bug. Depends on bugs that have patches.
# Bug {{nbug|511393}} - Use multiple SSL worker threads - looks like we will WONTFIX this in favor of removing the SSL thread.
# Bug {{nbug|668397}} - hidden - patch reviewed and WTC landed the critical part.
# Bug {{nbug|674148}} - De-serialize certificate chain validations (needed only if we choose to fix bug 674147 instead of fixing bug 511393).
# Integrate NSS 3.12.11 into mozilla-central.


I will be on PTO from July 27th through Aug 1st. I will be at Blackhat August 2nd through August 5th. I will be at USENIX August 10th - 12th.

Later:
Top Priorities:
# {{nbug|664542}} - hidden
# {{nbug|508633}} - Unresponsive OCSP server should not be treated as revocation
# Test PSM using libpkix vs current cert chain building using SSLLabs and/or EFF SSL Observatory data sets.
# Bug 660749 - PSM doesn't revalidate certificates of resources from the cache.
# Remove support for weak crypto (https://www.wsjsafehouse.com/)
# Fix bug {{nbug|650307}} - Certificate chain is verified twice for EV certificates
# Fix bug {{nbug|481656}} - Change cert viewer to validate/build cert chains the same way they are used for trust decisions
# Fix bug {{nbug|650296}} - PSM may report a different certificate error than what was originally encountered
# Drive certificate exclusion standard (DANE, or a lightweight DANE-like mechanism) forward
# Any libpkix fixes identified during libpkix testing.
# Fix bug {{nbug|651246}} - Make libpkix-based certificate path building/validation the default in PSM (bigger project than I initially expected; see growing list of blocking bugs. Will require lots of testing.)
# Review rrelyea's patches for bug {{nbug|470994}} (and related bugs) - Complete active distrust in NSS
# TLS compression (Google already wrote patches, but they may require some cleanup and we need to enable the feature in PSM.)
# Patches to NSS needed to support NSS/PSM startup time improvements (bug {{nbug|648407}}, bug {{nbug|648435}}, bug {{nbug|648431}})
# Review bug {{nbug|360420}} - Implement OCSP Stapling, and follow-ups to enable the feature in PSM

# Implement subscription-based blocklisting of certs via update ping (Bug {{nbug|647868}}, bug {{nbug|643982}}) - High risk of slipping
# Fix bug {{nbug|646156}} - Delete or Distrust doesn't work with multiple selected certs
