Agreed - while there are a bunch of SANs listed, www.openssh.org <http://www.openssh.org/> is not one of them, as least from what I see here:

            X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: 
                DNS:ftp.openbsd.org, DNS:libressl.org, DNS:openbsd.org, DNS:openiked.org, DNS:openssh.com, DNS:rpki-client.org, DNS:www.libressl.org, DNS:www.openbsd.org, DNS:www.openiked.org, DNS:www.openrsync.org, DNS:www.openssh.com, DNS:www.rpki-client.org
