Alias for newsletters by issue number

[murchandamus]

While I was reviewing NL401 today, I wanted to look up another newsletter it linked to. The quickest options I thought of was to pull up the Deploy Preview in the PR and click the corresponding link, or to pull up the page with the newsletters (https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/) and scroll down to the corresponding one.

Then I had the idea, that it would be nice if

https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/### were an alias for the corresponding newsletter found at https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/YYYY/MM/DD/

I.e. if https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/371 were to resolve to https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2025/09/12/.

Would be even better if https://bitcoinops.org/371 resolved to https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2025/09/12/.

Its a cool idea. I dont have time or knowledge to crank it out myself.

In this situation, was the link itself insufficient?

I was reviewing the newsletter draft, which doesn’t directly link. I could have scrolled to the bottom, searched for the right link, copied the suffix, typed the domain and pasted the suffix, but that’s less convenient.
