That should read "AFAIK the ASF does not use/allow server-side scripting
at project level"; mirrors seem to be handled with a Python script, if
this is the code

yes, this can even be done in .htaccess (see the tool
http://www.htaccesstools.com/redirection-by-language/ ); I assume that
only www.openoffice.org/index.html it planned to be redirected,
otherwise the whole English content will need to be moved to /en-us/,
which might break things.
