PHP 7.1 False Positive Compatibility

Similar to the post above (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php7-1-compatibility-test-false-positive/), the WP Mail SMTP plugin is getting flagged for using mcrypt, since it is deprecated in PHP 7.1.

However, this has been addressed by the plugin author here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-php-7-1-compatible-2/

It would appear that the phpseclib they are using prioritizes openssl already, but will fallback to mcrypt if openssl is not available. If both are not available, then the physeclib uses a pure PHP implementation to achieve it’s goal.

Would there be a way to get this plugin whitelisted as well?

Thank you,
Jon
