Description
Opening the 'Reviews' tab on a plugin page (such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/#reviews) reveals, when present, a list of reviews.
For each of these, the title of the review is linked to the page for that URL. However, it looks via a short URL, which redirects to the final URL - e.g., https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/?p=11306755 to https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-but-147/.
We should link directly to the final URL instead.

Generating that final URL from inside the plugin directory is actually not the easiest thing in the world to do, since the plugin directory isn't running bbPress. So the P method was used because it simplifies the code a great deal, and the redirects are considered acceptable for the speed improvements.
