Bug Description

Launchpad has its own ID namespace for people. I can assign bugs by entering their ID, but I can't log in to Launchpad by entering my own ID. Either the former shouldn't be possible, or the latter should be.

Do we plan to support this? Only allowing email addresses seems ok to me.
