I think Paul Eggert had posted a patch for it earlier, so I assume he's
going to do something about it. It's a bigger change in terms of number
of files too, so it's not something I plan to spend time on. I did this
one because my browser warned me about unsecured connection on the
website and I found out that there weren't too many of these links to
fix on the website and the code.
The website links are also fixed btw, the sourceware links are all https
now.
