The short answer: no one qualified has stepped up to maintain SunSSH,
which is divergent enough from OpenSSH that maintenance is
non-trivial.  It's all open source, though, so anyone could.  There be
dragons, though, and as it's such a key component of any server system
now, and it involves crypto, we need a great deal of trust in whatever
updates come out of it.

You can search for previous discussions on the illumos mailing lists,
but this document describes the reason for the fork:
