rfc-get
The non-standard host is the official RFC Editor site, which is a legitimate source for RFC metadata; the downloaded rfc-index.txt is static data, not executable code, and the package otherwise builds from the project's own GitHub repository.
Triggered rules
llm_review
The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The non-standard host is the official RFC Editor site, which is a legitimate source for RFC metadata; the downloaded rfc-index.txt is static data, not executable code, and the package otherwise builds from the project's own GitHub repository.
