Description

We recently added support for tracking organization URLs to the SecureDrop directory, and populated it with their current URLs. See https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop.org/issues/675 for background. This allows us to onboard organizations using their main site URL, instead of the landing page URL, which is more likely to change.

We should switch sddir.py to parse the organization URL, which will likely require updating some existing records.

Research direction

Start by reading sddir.py and the organization_url background in securedrop.org#675 to see how organization records are parsed and onboarded. Update the existing records as needed so onboarding uses the main organization URL, then verify that the directory handles those records consistently.
