This already exists in core, it is called Permalinks, and the existing VB4 importer has code for it

script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb

main


      
          
              topics.each do |thread|
                topic_id = "thread-#{thread["threadid"]}"
                topic = topic_lookup_from_imported_post_id(topic_id)
                if topic.present?
                  url_slug = "thread/#{thread["threadid"]}" if thread["title"].present?
                  if url_slug.present? && topic[:topic_id].present?
                    Permalink.create(url: url_slug, topic_id: topic[:topic_id].to_i)
                  end
                end
              end
            end
          end
          
          def import_posts

You should enter something like /showthread\.php\?(\d*)/thread/\1 into the permalink_normalizations setting.
