You should still be able to report bugs without using https.
The reason the URL I posted was an https URL rather than an http URL
was simply because I was logged into Savannah at the time I did the
cut-n-paste. There's nothing more to it that that. The regular page
<http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?group=findutils> should work fine.
If you don't want to report bugs via the web interface at all, that's
OK, you can still send them to <address@hidden>. The main
disadvantage of the email-only mechanism is that you won't necessarily
be emailed when the problem is fixed in CVS. The secondary advantage
of the web-based system is that I can't forget to fix those :-)
