There's a crucial difference; OpenSSL was designed to be secure. ImageMagick was designed to support hundreds of codecs and thousands of operations.
You can't pivot design on 1.25 million lines of code (est.) very quickly after 25 years of feature-first development process.
I'm a bit skeptical it will happen at all; it would be a multi-million dollar undertaking. Better to describe its design scope and tradeoffs, and get people to use it properly - sandbox it if it's on the server.
I started Imageflow to solve that problem - a server-focused design with strict design rules: security is first, followed by visual quality, followed by performance. We've kept the codebase to just 10kloc and we are 50% feature complete, but need to get a lot more momentum on Kickstarter to make completion possible. See https://www.imageflow.io
