 likely comes from a custom plugin we use on make to modify it to link to
 profiles. Not sure why it's not linking to the actual name though.

 Wouldn't it be better to check if the mention is for a valid WP.org user?
 I took a quick glance through the P2 code and it looks like the URLs are
 links to terms in the `p2_mentions_taxonomy` taxonomy.  I don't see where
 terms are added but I'm assuming there linked to the users table somehow.
 If that isn't returning an actual profile link then why make it a link?

 There are probably places inside /core/handbook/ where @mentions are
 desired -- e.g. comments.
