Did this actually get onto the list?

I think this bug has a fair point: we want to encourage people to create real projects when that makes sense. However:

 * Not all useful branches are real projects.
 * Even branches that are eventually going to become projects may have code before the project is registered, and people want a place to put that. Creating a project object requires some amount of work and commitment and people might not want to go through that up front.

We do have some experience that branches fall in both those categories; we could look at other +junk branches for more.

Using +user would be a small fix. Alternatively we could make a larger change to just put branches directly under the person; that should be done with a view to Launchpad's overall namespace model. And that also connects to the idea of doing team branches.
