My "related software" page shows irrelevant projects

Bug Description

Taking a look at https://edge.launchpad.net/~jml/+projects, I see a whole bunch of projects that have nothing to do with me. For example, the page links to the bzr-vimdiff project — I don't even use vim. I think this is because the page is including projects that are associated with teams I belong to.

Being so inclusive makes the page less valuable. Someone interested in my free software activity would get the wrong picture by looking at that page. One user on the #launchpad channel reported being associated to 957 different projects — this is too many to be meaningful.

If the link to this page is going to be so prominent, it should show only projects that I have actually contributed to. One way to do this would be to show projects in which I have accumulated karma.

I have the same problem: I don't even know what "Tickcount Python Extension" and "Canonical SFI Metaproject" *are*, but Launchpad pretends I'm involved with them.

What suddenly makes this low?

The observation that it has not been scheduled to be worked on in more that a year! If it were really high it would have been assigned to a milestone to demonstrate the commitment to fix it. I moved this to registry because I watch those bugs and I and very annoyed that this page has not been fixed or removed if no one is willing to fix it. Setting this low is an honest assessment that this bug will be fixed opportunistically by the Launchpad team or community contributor.

OK, generally it's good to explain such things.
