Count me in with those who thing everything should be encrypted, including email and SMS. Now that Let's Encrypt exists I can't see any reason not to use https. I just did a nmap of ubuntustudio.org and see that it's running Apache 2.4.7 on Ubuntu which I believe means 14.04 (Trusty). Setting up Let's Encrypt on 14.04 is a bit of a hassle. I tried it for a few days before giving up and upgrading my server to 16.04 to use the new and improved letsencrypt tool. It's works almost perfectly, you just need to make a script and cron job to renew the certificate every three months (there is a plan to make newer versions of the letsencrypt utility environment aware).

I would definitely contact the ubuntustudio.org webmaster and discuss https.

things like the "https everywhere" extension for Firefox.
