Sure. However, one level of redirection is unavoidable,
anyway, because it's different computer systems
(www.python.org vs. bugs.python.org). At that redirection,
renumbering can occur, e.g.

 http://python.org/sf?id=1593751

could get redirected to

 http://bugs.python.org/3426

(say). The renumbering database would live on www.python.org,
and it wouldn't ever need to change, since no new items are
added to the SF trackers. The database would have to be created
during the transition. As it is a static database, a pickled
Python dictionary or a bsddb database might work just fine.
