Thanks for starting on this, Olaf. 

Andres Purtell is VP right now, but I don't think we need to deal with any of
the commercial CAs, nor get INFRA, Ross or ASF budget into this. I'd recommend
to use EFF "Let’s Encrypt" initiative [1] to get the SSL certificate for free 
and
be done with it. Check [2] for more info

I will comment on the INFRA ticket
