Bug#989082: Please, consider to use HTTPS by default

[Manolo Díaz <debian@pleione.es>]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.71
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian@pleione.es

Dear Maintainer,

It seems that the site popcon.debian.org is HTTPS capable. Please
consider changing the SUBMITURLS variable inside the file default.conf
for use it by default.

Also, when https is used, does gpg add any privacy enhancement?

Best Regards,
Manolo Díaz
