    Why isn’t this an automated processs for them?

    Because manjaro.org is controlled personally by Phil, the CEO of the company, who's paranoid about letting anybody else handle it. And also can't figure out how to renew automatically, apparently. People have to remind him on Discord. 🀦

    Everything else *.manjaro.org (forums, mirrors etc.) is handled by different people and have never expired afaik.

    It's literally just the main webpage that has this problem, everything else about the distro is never impacted.

    Why isn't it for everyone? How often I see this with, I mean, major actors is head shakingly baffling.

    I work in tech for telco and the amount of people around me who have zero clue about x509/TLS/certificates in general is absolutely baffling

    I work in a telco and I have no clue what you just said to me.

    I wonder if they are still on an old cert system.

    This came up last time the cert expired iirc.

    Tl;dr one of the founders is holding up the infra not allowing any change. According to someone who worked on Manjaro, it was trivially easy to get this fixed, but that single person simply wouldn't approve it. Last I checked they sent the founder an ultimatum: either hand over the project or see the staff walk. I suppose the staff walked.
