https://apache.org

I am not sure who should be contacted, but https://apache.org doesn't match
the *.apache.org SSL Certificate and one gets a big fat warning in modern
browsers that the site shouldn't be trusted.

I think it needs to be corrected...

FWIW, my opinion is that the vender should reissue with the SAN.

The cert in use is for *.apache.org and does not have a Subject 
Alternate Name for just apache.org without a subdomain.

This leaves 2 primary course of actions:

- request the vendor we got our cert from (Symantec) add the SAN and 
reissue.  They sometimes will do so.
- buy and install a cert for apache.org for the website without www. and 
redir to the www.apache.org website

Other courses of action:

- remove the DNS entry for A/CNAME for apache.org so it doesn't resolve 
to anything
- ignore the issue (it's been reported a few times already and likely 
won't stop)

KAM
