Additional: To my understanding, there is sensitive data flowing. The Inkscape website allows people to log in, share their email addresses and social handles, upload Inkscape source code and binaries, as well as Inkscape extensions and other stuff.
I sure hope that the upload forms send their data encrypted, else (to my understanding) it wouldn't be hard to exchange the files during upload and we could possibly distribute binaries that have been tampered with.

asking: why? What is the purpose to secure a public connection on which no sensitive data flow?
Because it's no one's business if there is sensitive data flowing. Only encrypting the few cases where the data is sensitive will signal everyone listening that something is going on. Encrypting everything will make the sensitive events be drowned in a sea of noise.

I'm probably missing some point that makes this really interesting. Is it just a trend?
I hope not, it's the sane thing to do.
