I don't have access to the backend, so I'm just guessing here, but my
understanding is that one page is redirected to the other using HTTP
status code 301 "Moved Permanently".

qubit@loopbackoffice:~/scratch/itch$ wget http://www.libreoffice.org/developers/
--2013-02-13 13:27:23--  http://www.libreoffice.org/developers/

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 OK
Location: /developers-2/ [following]

My suggestion was that we use the simpler name as the canonical one by
switching the order of redirects. If executed properly, I do not
believe this would not break any links. (Perhaps a more interesting
question is why we used 301 instead of 302 or 307, as the name
"developers-2" sounds like a re-write or test/addendum page, but I
digress outside the scope of this bug... :-).

In any case, a minor issue. If it's easy for the IT team to fix,
please do so. If there are various impediments to a quick resolution,
please make a note and punt long :-)
