My mercurial clone is <https://hg.jcea.es/cpython-2011/>, and today I
can't create a patch from it (in the bug tracker). No explanation in
the web interface, but checking the sourcecode of the resulting page,
I see a SSL certificate failure.

So, looks like bugs.python.org is now verifying repository certificates.

My certificate is selfsigned and, moreover, it is behind a SNI server,
so the certificate python.org is getting is a selfsigned "jcea.es"
certificate.

What can I do, beside buying a "real" cert?.

Do we have a certificate whitelist, like mercurial?. In my .hgrc, I use

"""
[hostfingerprints]
# En realidad es www.jcea.es. hg.jcea.es esta tras SNI
hg.jcea.es = 54:7e:a7:36:56:c6:80:41:f8:fd:d6:c0:95:44:68:a9:93:58:ca:4c
"""

PS: If I try to use the http version of my repository
(<http://hg.jcea.es/cpython-2011>), I get an error: "('invalid token',
97)".
