compiz - May 2015 - Fwd: Compiz bug tracker website has strange SSL certificate

Dear compiz community:

I wanted to advise that as the SSL certificate for the compiz
bugtracker https://bugs.compiz.org appears incorrect. What I would
have expected besides not getting a security error, is that the Issued
To Common Name to be one of the following:
*.compiz.org
bugs.compiz.org

Also, the http version of the bugtracker appears non-functional,
correlating to this SSL certificate issue.

Hence, when would this issue be resolved so folks from downstream
distributions may report bugs upstream?

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter, and I look
forward to this being resolved.

You will find most of the information at compiz.org years out of date and the
subdomains nonfunctional.  The people who
run those domains do not seem interested in maintaining them or in offers of
service to co-maintain them, making them
effectively no different than cybersquatters at this point.

Bug tracking for the actively-maintained Compiz 0.9 series (the one accounting
for about 90% of the installation out
there) can be found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz where I notice
you've reported bugs.  A few individuals
maintain their own forks of the Compiz 0.8 series, but none have formal bug
trackers or published support channels.
