Bug Description
When choosing a person to subscribe to a bug, or to assign a bug to, I
must enter the user's ID into the overlay that appears, then wait for
a search to be performed, then choose the correct result from the
results. The wait for results is annoying, and it can be difficult to know
which is the correct result to choose
Exact matches on Launchpad id, irc nick, display name, email address must be the first items listed. These are not really searches, the implementation could look them up, show them in the picker, then the use could choose to do a search if exact matches are not right.

This overlaps with other person picker issues. Exact matches on launchpad-id and irc nick must be shown first.
I am tempted to say we should mark this as wontfix. There are terrible security consequences when the id mistyped. I think the usability issue here is better addressed in a similar bug where the picker could show a list of my 5 most recent or common picks.
