I am not making any plans (nor responsible for it), but my understanding of the
current situation is that:

* No backport has been organised for FreeBSD 12.4 nor 13.2 so far;
* The broader Open Source community will be facing the same problem and will
collectively have to offer support and patches for OpenSSL 1.x beyond its
planned EOL, which may well then also land into FreeBSD 12.4 and 13.2;
* The outcome of the current migration will help us determine if a backport
would effectively be a better option, such a decision will depend on binary &
source compatibility, and on performance at the very least.

HTH!
