I went ahead and have rolled out cloudflare on an under-used
subdomain... for us to test the setup. That's a free mitm-as-a-service
that was relatively effort-less to setup... and that will take care of
maintaining our certificates.

Try it out:
https://javadoc.freenetproject.org/ 
it's served from https://github.com/freenet/javadoc/

Do you have any plan to handle the bank-balance stuff? Or is that gone
in the new design?
