This looks like I nice addition, but I wonder if it's necessary to list the branch URLs or if it'd be enough to have just the branch's name (linking to the branch itself) and the series/package name (also linking to the relevant thing). Something like
v Related branches[1]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
| From source packages | Owner |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
| _firefox-4.0_ from the _We're back in the game_ series | TheOwner |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| From product series | Owner |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| _bzr-2.2_ from the _Bazaar 2.2_ series | TheOwner |
That makes (what seems to me to be) the important information more prominent, avoids the repetition, provides a link to the series/packages themselves and allows us to use similar table headings for both tables (having one table list the owner and the other just the source package seemed a bit weird to me, but maybe there's a reason for doing so?).
Also, do you really need the fixed width on the table? Shouldn't the surrounding boxes of the launchpad-form limit the width of the table? Or is this because you want them to have the exact same width as the recipe text area?
