An incognito tab of my Chrome browser tries to complete exim.org as
https://exim.org and offers "use tab to search bugzilla"…

Indeed it's a nice feature, but more likely it should work for searching
the documentation, shouldn't it?

And even when I type there www.exim.org, the Chrome browser tries to
contact https://www.exim.org, which fails, because of the certificate
problem.

Shouldn't we provide a unified view to

    https?://(www\.)?exim\.org


And put the bugzilla to some https://bugs.exim.org/.
With a redirect from the http://bugs.exim.org/ (TLS should be enforced
because we send passwords there.)

It would cost us two certs.
