I don't think that's possible without hacking the moin code
to add such a redirect. Because that would leave us with a custom
installation, I'm rather reluctant to apply such patches.

We are already running an OpenID plugin which is unmaintained
and has lost 2/3 of its functionality because of this: Google
no longer does OpenID and myOpenID has gone out of business,
leaving only Launchpad as OpenID provider.

All that said, if you know a way to do this without hacking the
moin code (theme changes are fine), please let me know.
