As is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ to Putty.

Still there were multiple requests to the Keepass project to change that domain to "a proper" domain like keepass.com

I, too, took your comment to mean that keepass.info is to KeePass as putty.org is to PuTTY.
Well, classic sender receiver mismatch I guess :D

Is my intent more clear with that second try to explain? If not, I'm more then welcome to talk about a better way to phrase it :)

I was confused as well and panicked that I'd been installing KeePass from a fake site all these years. But keepass.info is indeed the official site.

Suggest: That is the same attitude as critics telling the Keepass maintainer to migrate the (official) keepass.info domain to a .com...

For some reason there's no .official tld, there's .app, .codes, .dev, .download, .kosher
It's a nice idea in principle, but one problem with that is that for many names, there are multiple "official" meanings. Apple Inc. and Apple Records is a well-known example. This is why Wikipedia has (sometimes lengthy) disambiguation pages.
Yes, that captures my intent :) Sadly, I cannot edit the post anymore.
