You don't have to audit that. It's so popular, someone else must have done a thorough review already!

Afaik it had the opposite effect for OpenSSL. Not only was the code so bad that it would crash if ran with a secure malloc implementation. Due to being free and open source nobody felt the need to donate[1], with only one developer employed to work on it full time.
