Meanwhile, use the workaround described by Andy: " It is there, but you have to go to http://lists.qt-project.org for now, it is being moved to a new server so at some point the https address will be back, but until then you need to use the http address."

That blog you link said it would merge the contents of qt-project.org with the 
contents of digia. In practice, it just removed, or hide, all the contents from 
qt-project, and replaced it by The Qt Company marketing.

At the time, qt-project.org contained useful information for and from 
developers *of* Qt. The contribution model was explained, the blog links was 
linking to planet qt, an aggregation of contributors blog.

Today, qt-project.org redirects to https://www.qt.io/developers/ which is use a 
page for developer *using* Qt. It contains only Qt Company links, The "Qt" blog 
is just "The Qt Company" blog. It does not really mention that there are 
contributors to Qt other than the Qt company.
