Some part of Launchpad use this convention:
    User Display Name (~launchpad-id)

The line that shows the primary email address could also show irc nicks.

This the underlying issue identity and affiliation overlaps with bug 81692. The picker could show the project icon next to users who are in a project role (when the picker is in the context of a pillar). Showing team membership icons which are only shown of the user profile page may help.

I believe users will also feel more confident if the matches were sorted by relevancy instead of display name. Exact matches with launchpad-id and email address should score more than matches in unconfirmed data. Users who are affiliated with a project should score better than outside users. Users with karma are more important than those with zero.
