I think the same capability (of having an account used by a non-human

We're talking about entirely different things.  I'm not trying to solve 
a problem for everyone, just for Launchpad itself.  And I don't think 
there is a problem of Launchpad code not having the capability to read 
and write to Launchpad!
The specific problem at hand is that of Launchpad itself not existing as 
a person in Launchpad, but Launchpad's code sometimes doing things that 
require a Person object to represent itself.
Such a Person should be a celebrity because Launchpad code would need it 
as a fixed identity in several places.
