New description:

 Trac 'reports' pages, like https://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5,
 require the following improvements:

 * Remove default sort (and other) parameters from pagination links. E.g.,
 the link to 'page 2' in this state includes a redundant `asc=` parameter.
 This is the default behaviour, and it should be removed.

 * Add a canonical URL tag, referencing the current report and paginated
 state, omitting the (now removed) `asc=1` parameter.

 * Update the page title to include the paginated state (E.g., `{5} Next
 Major Release – Page 1 of 5 – WordPress Trac`)

 * Add (or modify the output of) a meta robots tag with a value of
 `noindex, follow` on all requests which include the following parameters:
 `max`, `sfp_email`, `sfph_mail`, `sort`, `USER`, `asc`

 Note that these must all be deployed as a single change. A
 partial/selective implementation of these may make things worse.
