We're getting closer, but...

 - There is still too much stuff here.  Remember that somebody has to look
   at and review this stuff.

 - A quick check shows that a fair number of these links are broken or
   redirect to somewhere else.  What is the value of adding "https" to a
   broken link?

 - Various documents have maintainers who are likely to be interested in
   changes and should be copied; that is what the get_maintainer.pl script
   is for.  If that generates a massive list of recipients, that's a cue
   that your patch is too large.

If you really want to push this forward, please:

 - narrow down further.  Start with, say, Documentation/maintainer and
   just do that.

 - Make sure every link you touch actually works.  If they don't, don't
   just add "https", figure out what the link should be or, if no
   applicable link exists, delete them.

 - Justify the changes in the changelog; "for security reasons" is not, by
   itself, particularly convincing.  What security threat are you
   addressing here?

Then, maybe, we'll have patches that can be reviewed and applied.

Thanks,

jon
