The epiphany documentation is generally the domain of the GNOME
documentation team[1] which welcomes all contributions. I would be
more than happy to document the issue if someone can let me know how
to import certificates.

Michael, I have filed a bug at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739326 against the
documentation. Please feel free to subscribe to it if you would like
to receive updates of any progress.

That is good as the documentation is generally maintained only for the
latest release. If we can fix the issue in the very near future, there
is a possibility that there could be another 3.14 release with the
fix, depending on whether the maintainers are planning another stable
release or not. Regardless, thank you for reporting the issue.
