Description
Often users make a judgment call about whether a comment is spam or not based on a number of factors including the website of the commenter. Even the URL can be a big tip-off here, and we all know to avoid going to isellviagra2124.com (or whatever).
When moderating comments in WP Android though, we can see only the username or display name of the commenter. To find out about the website, we have to click the username/display name, which takes us directly to the website with the in-app browser.
Ideally, we’d instead display the website link so moderators can make a quick judgment call as to whether the link is safe to visit or is clearly spam. This is the case currently in iOS.

Research direction
The issue concerns the Android comment list and compares it with the iOS comment list; no source file or test is named. Start by locating the Android comment-list UI and its commenter display, then compare the existing iOS behavior; done means moderators can see the commenter website URL without opening it.
