They still need help upgrading the key exchange to be quantum resistant if anyone needs a summer project.
No they don't "need" help doing that. Quantum resistance is kind of a waste of time considering the largest number factored by these things is 21.
And the known algorithm we halve just square roots the search space on average. So a 256 bit key is still secure. Quantum resistance just seems like another industry scam to try and take us away from well supported open-source stuff.
It's also not that hard to implement. It's just a slightly different algorithm.
Also it's not an industry scam - literally the only standard out so far is from NIST.
