So ... we're changing GitHub URLs from git: to https:, and Gitlab URLs
from https: to git:?
Certainly we want to fix URLs that are broken, but is there any real
reason to churn up the MAINTAINERS file to "fix" URLs that work?
The reason was to be *consistent* with the rest of the entries.
Because most of them(380) are using git:, vs 22 for https:
$ grep git.kernel.org MAINTAINERS | sed 's#://#:// #' | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
1 git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext.git
22 https://
380 git://
But Greg has some concerns about this protocol:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2025062654-lubricant-lettuce-3405@gregkh/
"This bypasses the mirror systems in place with the https: protocol,
please do not do this without a lot of justification and agreement of
the hosting providers involved as they will have a large increase in
resources if this were to change."
So, the right patch should replace git://git.kernel.org with https://git.kernel.org in all the tree.
$ git grep -l "git://git.kernel.org"
