To be *consistent* with the rest of the entries:

$ 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 if https is preferer, a reverse patch can be done: git -> https
