Add a "lp-whois" command

[Drew Smathers]

whoami shows you your canonical name. A whoarethey command that takes 1 or more nicks would be swift.

From #bzr

13:03 mgz: djfroofy: sooo... about how easy that was
13:03 mgz: >>> from launchpadlib.uris import LPNET_SERVICE_ROOT
13:03 mgz: >>> from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad
13:03 mgz: >>> #lp = Launchpad.login_with("gz throwaway script", service_root=LPNET_SERVICE_ROOT)
13:03 mgz: ...
13:03 mgz: >>> djfroofy = lp.people['djfroofy']
13:04 mgz: >>> "%s <%s>" % (djfroofy.name, djfroofy.preferred_email_address.email)
13:04 mgz: the only fun part is the dance needed for login

I wonder if this wouldn't be more appropriate for lptools?

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

Yes, this isn't especially connected to bzr.

[Martin Packman (gz)]

The problem is no one has lptools installed, where as I could envision doing:

    $ bzr commit --author `bzr whois jelmer` -m "Fix mgz's broken test"

..or something, with the bzr launchpad plugin, and suggesting that to others.

I think a more direct way to fix that would be to make the bzr package
Recommend the lptools package.
