Hello there,

I would like to work on this issue. Could I be assigned please?

[jakelishman]

This link checker appears to be inaccurate - several of these actually work. Ones that have retworkx in them need to be updated to rustworkx, and the Aer issues are mostly just because in GH issues links, the correct URL has plural "issues" in the middle (as opposed to PRs, which just have the singular "pull").

The script/src links would be bugs to be filed against the Sphinx theme, if anything. All the rest of these would need to be fixed on the metapackage, since that's where the release_notes.rst file lives.

I could also work on this issue @jakelishman. Not sure if multiple people can be assigned to one issue?

@jakelishman , I have updated all the links except script/src. I would need some more time to understand the Sphinx theme. Before creating the PR I would like to check the following with you to be sure-

Among the updated links-

• I have replaced https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aqua/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md with https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aqua/#migration-guide as qiskit-aqua has been deprecated
• I have replaced https://qiskit.github.io/openqasm/ links with https://openqasm.com/
• I have followed your instruction for retworkx and gh issues

I have made the changes in the release_notes.rst of qiskit-metapackage . Is changing the links only in the release_notes.rst of qiskit-metapackage sufficient as some of these broken links are present in the releasenotes of their own repo (such as: https://github.com/search?q=org%3AQiskit%20https%3A%2F%2Fqiskit.github.io%2Fopenqasm%2F&type=code)?

Moving this issue to the meta-package (although, I think it would make sense to fix it them here too at some point, for consistency. But that's another issue).

Hi @shoaib6174, assigning you! Please PR your changes so we can talk on a case-by-case.

A lot of these should be fixed by #1737.
