Hey, I can't claim to be an expert about this category of vulnerability; but I appreciate you raising this concern.

So is your recommendation to use https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git instead of git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git?

The .gitmodules file contains:

[submodule "gnulib"]
         path = gnulib
         url = git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git
[submodule "bootstrap"]
         path = gl-mod/bootstrap
         url = https://github.com/gnulib-modules/bootstrap.git

but AFAIK, there is no host authentication done with the "git:"
protocol, so that this is vulnerable to MitM attacks.

How about changing this to https?
Additional details: i.e. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git
according to what is described on
