I tried that for the given link, and found that "gsw" is used in CH
(Schwyzerdütsch), AT + DE + LI (Alemannisch), FR (Alsatian listed as
dialect).  The FR case is allegedly related to "Christian", but I'd
guess that the usage isn't limited to any religion.

Same situation as at the time when "gsw" was added, apparently gsw-FR
is the best available tag for Alsatian.  Nothing is wrong with the
info in the language subtag registry, it doesn't mention Alsatian.
