Checking it out this morning, it went to a domain parking page.
Going off of Wikipedia[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW, it seems that this is the project page:
It gets better. The HTTPS link to mingw-w64.org has a cert invalid
error, though the HTTP link works fine.
So I guess we need a few updates. I could propose a patch in a few moments.

Diving deeper while updating the links, I stumbled across this note:
"The MinGW.org web‑site is undergoing an overhaul, whilst in the process
of transferring to a new hosting provider. During this transitional
phase, some pages may be temporarily unavailable."[1]https://mingw.osdn.io/index.html?page=docs.html
So it appears this is part of a migration.
Anyway, here is a patch updating the URLs.

Are we sure that mingw.org is completely dead? The message showing up
on their site seems to mean that this URL change is just temporary?

We would have to ask directly to clarify, but mingw.org domain itslf
looks very much like a parked domain.
