Has the format of info.json ever been formalized beyond "These are the fields that need to exist"?

As a rule of thumb, if something looks like a URL -- even including the protocol prefix -- it should be treated as one if it makes sense for the field.

Yeah, this is a minor bug. I'm just informing the devs, not a big deal but would be a nice fix.
Love Factorio devs <3

Thanks for the report. That field was never setup to be a hyperlink and as such it doesn't work like a hyperlink. Regarding the "As a rule of thumb" - that's not how any of this works when it comes to how GUIs function. Nothing is what it is without us programming it to work that way and we programmed that field to be a simple label so it is a simple label.
With that being said, I don't see the harm in making that field be a hyperlink if it starts with "http" or some variant so I'll do that.
