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 :-)
