Should Gemini clients alert users upon redirect?

In the above article, Dan Bogan makes a case for adding slashes to the end of all URLs.† I thought it was convincing, so that's how I've been rolling for years.

One of my current favorite Gemini clients, by default, alerts the user when following a link and gives the user an option to continue or abort the navigation.

One of the capsules I visit from both CAPCOM and Spacewalk has links that are all trailing-slashless. Not only are the links in CAPCOM/Spacewalk slashless, but the intra-capsule links are as well.

Should I be sending a polite change request to the author of the capsule, to the maintainer of the Gemini client, to both, or neither? At least with the Gemini client, I could send along a patch to change the default.

† Time and CMS changes have not been good to the article. You'll need to hover over the links in the code snippets and look at your link-preview bar/popup to see what he's talking about.
