Comment:

 > This kind of redirection might feel unintuitive to users who are trying
 to understand the internal multisite structure of WordPress.org —
 especially contributors or learners analyzing the platform behavior.

 This is a reasonable point to raise, but WordPress.org has many
 customizations due to the number of logged in users we have, and the
 general lack of need for wp-admin access for most users (and all
 visitors).

 This is more of a user experience "improvement" even though it's less
 clear as to why you're being redirected. The experience for the majority
 of users landing on a WordPress.org page that says "you can't access this"
 and not knowing what they're accessing has more problems.

 You're one of the few users with wp-admin access, and as such you're going
 to see more wp-admin urls than most, but most users should '''never''' see
 a link to wp-admin anywhere on WordPress.org.
