New description:

 In each of the following cases, a 301 redirect should be configured from
 the `URL` value to the `To` value.

 Note:
 - All origin URLs should match with and without a trailing slash (i.e.,
 all `URL` values should be considered to be regex patterns ending in
 `/?$`).
 - All destination URLs should be/use HTTPS.
 - Feel free to use some discretion in selecting more appropriate 'To'
 values as desired.
 - Feel free to consolidate individual rules into regex patterns where
 sensible (though watch out for false-positives).
