Tim's comment #2 agrees with this as I see it.
There are two problems here:
1- This form is almost unique in Launchpad in that it populates itself
with values that you personally have used previously; that's quite a
good pattern in some ways but it's confusing because it's so
inconsistent. (I would love if Launchpad did this for People too; I
commonly assign or subscribe the same people.) I think there's a
separate bug for that.
2- The default population is poor.
Suggesting the most commonly proposed targets across all MPs might be better.
