Bug Description
It would be really useful if Launchpad would show badges next to a user when I'm selecting them from a list.
I often assign or add users to a bug, or a team, for instance. In some cases, there are multiple users whose names match my search term. If they've hidden their email addresses, it's not obvious which user I want.
In the case of the attached screen shot, I'm adding a user, 'Hector Acosta' to a Private PPA. There are two 'Hector Acosta' users. One of which I want to give access to this PPA, and the other I definitely DON'T. But both have hidden their email addresses. Sadly the choice is ambiguous. I can click the twisty, and then click the 'View Details' link, and fork over to a new tab in my browser and pick the right Hector.
But it would be far nicer if Launchpad would just show me the badges of the two Hectors and I could *trivially* choose the right one.
Gracias!

To avoid ambiguity, we display the account name in addition to the user name. (hector-acosta vs hector-acosta-7) in your screenshot. This completely removes ambiguity, whereas showing badges would not.
