That is a known limitation of the new redports setup. The long story
is that the new redports backends are IPv6 only machines now in a
private IPv6 address space and their only internet access is via an
Squid proxy that allows FTP/HTTP/HTTPS.

Since our fetch(1) does not support proxies for HTTPS connections
it tries to lookup the domain himself and fails because it does not
have a DNS server or direct internet access. So in the end it is a
bug or missing feature of our fetch. I've CCD des@ just in case he
has a good idea.

The best way to workaround that right now is to add an HTTP or FTP
mirror and we should add one for GITHUB in portstree because that
seems to be one of the most affected one.
