Going off of Wikipedia[1], it seems that this is the project page: https://mingw.osdn.io/ It gets better. The HTTPS link to mingw-w64.org has a cert invalid error, though the HTTP link works fine. So I guess we need a few updates. I could propose a patch in a few moments.

Diving deeper while updating the links, I stumbled across this note: "The MinGW.org web‑site is undergoing an overhaul, whilst in the process of transferring to a new hosting provider. During this transitional phase, some pages may be temporarily unavailable."[1] So it appears this is part of a migration. Anyway, here is a patch updating the URLs.

The message showing up > on their site seems to mean that this URL change is just temporary? We would have to ask directly to clarify, but mingw.org domain itslf looks very much like a parked domain.
