Guys, you both misunderstand the question in the same way for some
reason. freemarker.org already redirects to
freemarker.incubator.apache.org. That's exactly my problem. I expected
to only have freemarker.org (or freemarker.incubator.apache.org to
redirect to freemarker.org) behind which the content is served by an
ASF server, until we graduate. For that, I have to ask
[email protected], and I'm asking you, if I should ask them, or
you prefer the current situation (i.e., having
freemarker.incubator.apache.org as the canonical URL).

I haven't intended to change our 10+ year old and nice concise domain
name for now, I have merely asked for the domain ownership to change.
So I was surprised by this development.
