Cilk Plus has been deprecated more than two years ago and not seen
development on the GCC side for a while, too.
The certificate for www.cilkplus.org expired four weeks ago, so
remove our link there as we move the Cilk Plus entry to the section
of Inactive Development branches.

If it's now inactive, maybe also reword the description to change tense
from present to past?
i.e.:
<dt>cilkplus</dt>
<dd>This branch was for the development of the now-obsolete Cilk Plus
language extension support for the GCC and G++ compilers. This branch
was maintained by <a href="mailto:balaji.v.iyer@intel.com">Balaji V.
Iyer</a>.
When patches to this branch were still being accepted, they were required
to be prefixed with <code>[cilkplus] wwwdocs:</code> in the subject, which
can be used as a search term for people looking in the mail archives for
more information about this branch.</dd>

...though in the spirit of keeping things here as brief as possible,
how about "Patches were required to ..." and similarly trying to shorten
the rest of that paragraph?

Agreed.
Do you want to go ahead and commit those changes? Help with the
web pages is much appreciated, and it's quite simple actually
(cf. https://gcc.gnu.org/about.html and I'm happy to help).
Thanks,
Gerald

I haven't made a commit to the wwwdocs repo yet, and the last time I
committed
to the main gcc sources repo it was before the transition to git, and I did
it from a
different computer, and I'm not sure if I transferred my ssh keys to my new
computer properly; I might need some help with the setup there... it might
be
faster to just commit the changes yourself.

I'd encourage you to give it a try - working on wwwdocs in the git world
is quite easy and convenient (and git in general has been a good move for
GCC). :-)
Reach out if you need help; for now I'll take care of this change.
