And that's a problem. Ideally, the files view would be inlined
somewhere on Launchpad.

Here's what you have to do to browse the source for 'storm':

  https://launchpad.net
  Search for 'storm'
  Click "Storm" in exact matches
  Click the Code tab (if you wait, you'll see "Branches for Storm")
  Find and click "Browse the source code" on the code listing page
  Click "Files"

That's at least two clicks too many.
