I concur: something this important would definitely benefit from the
early notification that the Change process can enable.

Also, for upstreams that rely on OpenSSL, is there a good way to start
testing early against OpenSSL 4.0, short of building it manually? For
example, I maintain a tool[1] that generates certificates using
libcrypto. I'd like to be able to include an upstream CI test to build
regularly against the OpenSSL development branch to catch issues
early. (Spoiler: if the answer to this is "yes", that's information
that should go into the Change Proposal too.)
