Ok, I made the change to ORC's site as a demo.

http://orc.apache.org/bugs
http://orc.apache.org/downloads
http://orc.apache.org/releases
http://orc.apache.org/src
http://orc.apache.org/web-src

All redirect to the appropriate urls. The patch is
https://github.com/apache/orc/commit/96a4ea96896d6bfbe5c372820228f4b48aa9f055
.
