Magnus and I briefly discussed what it would take, but the probability
of having the redirects ready on pgweb before the release is
slim-to-none, as we'd like to thoroughly test.

We can start experimenting with it now, and commit a fix after the release.

I don't have the power to revert changes directly to the documentation
in core, so I cannot take ownership of that part. However, I am happy to
own the completion of the redirect feature.

Thanks,

Jonathan
