Specref issue (now fixed)

Hi all,

Apologies if you were getting 503 HTTP responses while querying the Specref
API today.

This issue is now fixed and everything should be back to normal.

This issue was caused by an accidental modification of the
package-lock.json file in an unrelated pull request. This pull request was
merged right away by the author of the pull request themselves. This is in
violation of our review policy[1] which states that "[y]ou can merge
trivial changes yourself, but [you must] allow enough time for others to
comment on them before you do."

I will be reminding the author of that pull request of our
policy and requesting them to make sure they follow it in the future.

As such issues are incredibly rare (I think it's the first time this ever
happened), we will not modify our review policy as it has been serving the
project well so far.

Thanks,

--tobie
