links in https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jelmer/bundlebuggy/newer-turbogears confusing

Bug Description

the links on each revision are confusing: currently it is

<REV> By <Author> on Date.

However, the most *obvious* think to click on is the author, and there
is no clear indication that that link goes to the authors branch page
rather than the revision details.

It is kind of a meme in Launchpad that a person's name takes you to that person.

The <REV> is hyperlinked but I can understand that it isn't necessarily obviously so.

I'm not saying that the name link is wrong; I'm saying that the 'obvious
link' in the table is not the 'most useful one'.

The most useful link for a revision is one to its
diff/details/conversation etc.

I agree that the Author link is the most visible one. The little person icon is a pretty clear indication that it goes to the author's page. Confirmed, not Triaged, because I'm not sure what the fix is, so it's pretty hard to start working on this bug :)
