Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2022 09:41:51 +0100

Hi Stefan,

Although the git: URL is the canonical location of the elpher source,
I'm fine with switching to the https: URL if this helps people rest
easier.  It is:

https://thelambdalab.xyz/git/elpher.git

(MELPA uses this also.)

All the best, and happy holidays,

Tim
