Thank you for your interest in contributing to the project.
FYI, the wishlist on the wiki is in arbitrary order, not in priority
order, and items are often being added to it without prior discussion -
so some might actually be wished by one person only. ;-)
IIRC, adding OpenMP support to the HMAC formats was brought up by me in
a posting in here, as a possible minor enhancement that magnum could
implement (as the author of these formats). Then magnum added this to
the wishlist.
It is a fairly easy task, so is probably suitable for getting started
with contributing to the project. magnum is the one to decide whether
he'd like to work with you on this task or implement it himself.
Thanks again,
Alexander
