Bug#222717: people.debian.org: user pages endlessly redirect to themselves

[Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When I go to http://people.debian.org/~njordan, or any other user page (even nonexistent users such as "fubbaz" etc.) I get endlessly redirected to the same page. The output of wget is:

--15:25:53--  http://people.debian.org/%7Enjordan
           => `~njordan'
Resolving people.debian.org... 192.25.206.10

et cetera ad infinitum. This is probably an after-effect of the reconstruction works after the compromise (yesterday the machine didn't respond at all :) ) but nonetheless: the machine should either give a proper error response or a correct response.

Thanks!
