The research I've done on Launchpad indicates that users think of Launchpad as a tool. The main information they look for, when they log-on, is information about projects they are involved in and the bugs they are interested in. They want to get to work.
One of the research conclusion was the following: "it is not easy to find a particular project from the Launchpad home page. If someone knows that a project tracks its bugs in Launchpad and visits for the first time, it is not obvious how they should proceed. The home page should guide people directly into the tasks we know they're likely to perform on a first visit, as after a first visit it would appear people rarely use the home page."
There was no mention in the many interviews that participants wanted to know about the size of the database.
