Bug Description

I'm looking for a package of Gimp in PPA's, so I search: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=gimp

From that list, I can't really tell which one has what I want.
I would recommend:

- Show which packages in the PPA match the searched query
- Show when the PPA was last uploaded to (freshness!)
- I'm not sure Sources and Binaries column are meaningful at all. Why not just show "packages"?
- Add the people/team icon to the owner so I can see which one is what

Feel free to ping me to discuss this further!
