What significant contributions to real-world cryptography have LibreSSL made?

Well seeing as the criteria that they used to pick the OpenSSL project is:

"for dramatic improvements to the code quality of OpenSSL"

I think there is a question around why LibreSSL was not chosen seeing as it has done exactly that...

I don't have any numbers but I would guess this would be since OpenSSL is used a lot more than LibreSSL at the moment. So the criteria "and its use in real world systems" would qualify OpenSSL more than LibreSSL.
