[Catalog-sig] www.python.org/pypi might redirect?

I wonder why that is. Would there be anything wrong with making that
a (permanent) redirect instead?

Users of the old URL should see a speedup if they do many requests;
all relative URLs would directly go to cheeseshop, rather than having
to pass through www.python.org again.
