Can you please clarify the Author, Copyright, and License information w.r.t. https://github.com/HewlettPackard/python-redfish-utility/blob/master/patches/ssl-patch.patch

Has it been attempted to be contributed to cpython upstream?

FIPS_MODE is public OpenSSL api, and it would be useful to have a quick and convenient access to it from python code, and thus maybe should be standard API available from the vanilla Python.

Alternatively, it would be nice if python-redfish-utility was improved to use ctypes if the non-standard API is not available from python.

I see this has been previously submitted

https://bugs.python.org/issue27592

And rejected upstream. Ideally, python-redfish-utility should not use APIs that have been rejected from upstream cpython, and advocating others to use them too.
