Qgil added a comment.

I think the fixes needed sorted by priority are:

# The URL to the user page must be functional in all cases, regardless of the 
characters involved.
# The visible string should be the username correctly formatted, hiding the URL 
itself i.e. "S Page (WMF)"
# This needs to be implemented in all the places where we are showing this link
** Registration dialog (pending)
** User profile (fixed)
** User preferences (pending)
** Anywhere else?
# The "long URL" shouldn't show unnecessary url-encoding.

How much of this can we reasonably include before the Bugzilla migration?

Personally I don't think it is relevant whether these encodings exist in the 
background as long as the URLs work and the ugly encodings are not exposed in 
the UI.

Providing "short URL" format is not possible today and it would require 
significant changes in the extension if we want to upstream them, something 
that we are not going to pursue now, if ever. If you are interested in showing 
short URLs, then please create a new task, but as said we will not look at it 
anytime soon.
