It was discovered during UI testing at UDS-N for "managing disclosure"
that owner/drivers who work with private data do not trust the person
picker. When assigning a user to a bug or a project, the owner/driver
needs to to assured he is selecting to the correct person. The
owner/driver often takes extra steps to verify the Launchpad Id or team
membership of the user in the picker.

I reported and tagged these bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-project/+bugs?field.tag=person-picker

In summary, the person picker shows a display name that cannot be
trusted, hidden email addresses, nicks, and Launchpad Ids are not shown.
The owner/driver needs to investigate the listed user to verify two
pieces of information, often Launchpad Id and team participation.

One user suggested that the picker have a second field to enter the team
the user is a member of.

All owner/drivers would like the picker to provide a short list of
recent or preferred users.
