the front of "savannah.gnu.org"). I infrequently check the site, and my
browser choked on this in standard goose-chase fashion.

This is often considered a misconfiguration, and its fairly normal to

it when soliciting reports of issues following upgrades.

Just an FYI in case no one has mentioned it already, it appears that after the web server frontend upgrade, the site is not automatically redirecting http -> https connections resulting in insecure connections on a number of browsers (when the short email is typed in without an explicit https:// at redirect to https using a 301 (permanent), or 302 (in temporary cases). If there is a reason for not redirecting in this way, it might be good to post

IIRC, you will be permanently redirected to https: only when you login and access account stuff. Plain http is still supported. This is intentional, as a decision made by gnu.org.
