Many of the paths that you have retagged in this set are not sidewalks, as defined by OSM. In OSM, it is customary to distinguish between footways/paths and sidewalks based on their relationship to roads. Sidewalks, as the name implies, run alongside roadways, so the footway=sidewalk tag is not really appropriate for footways that cut through college campuses, parks, etc.
For further guidance:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:footway
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SidewalksAlso, you can use the OpenStreet Browser (https://openstreetbrowser.org/) to confirm that other mappers (not just me) follow this practice. You can view the OSM footway data by selecting Transportation > Walking > Footways. In well-mapped cities, like San Francisco, London, Berlin, and Toronto, there's a fairly consistent tagging distinction between sidewalks alongside roads and footways elsewhere.
