Why not just self sign?

For Bugzilla I want to move to using SSL for logged in users. Mango
already uses SSL, however, this doesn't make sense unless the

I propose the GNOME foundation buys a *.gnome.org SSL certificate. Such
a wildcard certificate should be reusable for Mango and Bugzilla.

Two questions:
- Do you agree?
- Was a SSL certificate restricted to an IP address? Hopefully not as
  above services run on different machines.

I propose to buy it here (no good reason other than Mozilla used that
for their bmo certificate):
https://www.securetrust.com/

It costs 800 USD for 3 years. See:
https://www.securetrust.com/sslcertificates/wildcard/

I do not know a lot about certificates, so I do not want someone buying
it right away (need someone knowledgeable to say this is the right
option).
