You can access the HTTP version.  Anyway, the commits are signed with
PGP:
<https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/src/alx/shadow/alx/shadow.git/commit/?h=shadowconfig_man>

Regarding the self-signed TLS certificate in my website, yep, that's on
purpose.  I documented the rationale here:
<http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/ssl>
In the link above, you can also download the cert, and a PGP signature
to verify that it was issued by me.  Or you can access the HTTP version
if you prefer that.  :-)


Cheers,
Alex
