I *think* in comment #1, you are proposing to use the convention of User Display Name (~launchpad-id).

If so, great; if I am using person-picker as a team leader, I know the launchpad-id of my intended victim ;) and seeing it displayed will help me disambiguate the search results, especially if email addresses are hidden (as the often are).

If the proposal is merely to use team or project icons, I don't think it will be sufficient. There are many teams and projects without icons.

Tweaking the search results and how they are displayed is nice from a UX point of view (fewer clicks == mo' better), but the main issue is the ability to disambiguate, which simply isn't possible today if email addresses are hidden.

Thanks.
