Bug Description
It was discovered during UI testing for "managing disclosure" that users 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.
One tester suggest that the picker accept a team as criteria to ensure that the listed users are members of team.
/me notes that providing additional information may make the picker faster.

Let's talk about this use case to be certain we know the value of what this would provide. I was hoping to close this bug as wontfix.
