One trick here is exactly where we put our documentation on this matter.
If we do it within the wiki, then most anyone should be able to update
it on demand, although I'm not sure what additional load this might
create on the wiki. We might also want to think twice about such a
public page being easily editable by anyone that would be used so widely
within a program like Mailman.
I'm betting that the wiki can't do a 302 redirect, which would be
proper. I'm sure that something could be done to do an HTML "refresh"
or a JavaScript "document.location", but neither of those are as nice as
an HTTP 302 redirect. The 302 redirect operates at a much lower layer
and is much easier on systems because clients don't have to process the
downloaded page. It uses less bandwidth too.
If we try to do this on the main list.org site itself, I believe that
Barry is the only one with the account and permissions to make these
kinds of changes, in part because the site is actually owned by someone
else (maybe John Viega, one of the original authors of Mailman?).

I got to thinking. I chose Apache / PHP because that's what I know
best. But there is no reason (that I know of) that would prevent the
same thing from being written in Python, or any other dynamic language
for that matter.
