Blueprint listing doesn't include the blueprints' titles

It's useful to contrast this page with the equivalent bug listing page. For example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bugs.

For blueprints we have a "Name" column, whereas for bugs we have a "Title" column (though they actually have different labels).

If we replace the "Name" column on blueprint listings with a "Title" column, then we might need to give that new column extra width. This is based on two assumptions:
1. Blueprint titles are generally longer than blueprint names.
1. Blueprint titles are similar in length to bug titles.

If the above points are true, then we have three options (at least):
1. Keep the new "Title" column the same width as the existing "Name" column. Use ellipses (...) to truncate long blueprint titles.
2. Make the new "Title" column greater in width than the existing "Name" column and:
    a. Reduce the width of the other columns; or
    b. Remove one or more of the other columns.

It can't be low! Its super important for sorting out blueprints.

I agree it is needed, but no engineers are assigned to work on blueprints. No one can commit to working of this issue, thus it cannot be high. Low means it will be fixed when an engineers realises he can provide a fix while working on another issue.

Launchpad contributors have fixed some blueprints bugs. Someone may fix it because they really want this issue fixes. Anyone changing the listing will require a UI review, and I know the title issue will never pass--we want listing of bugs, blueprints, and answers to be consistent.

The milestone issue is tracked in bug 126721.

Ok, i'll start cc'ing canonical friends ;) hahaha, bryce?
