Judging from the fact that there still hasn't been any response on Jira, it looks like the Android may not have many resources to work on this right now. We still want to fix this, ideally with the HTTPS-First release in 136, to make sure that we have a consistent behavior around explicit http:// schemes. Considering that, I will start working on this myself.
