Any ETA on that reorganization?

I looked. I find the Launchpad interface a bit confusing sometimes.  
Perhaps I've just gotten used to our simple collector. The other day  
I had the hardest closing a bug -- I just couldn't find a button in  
the interface! Admittedly, it was the first time I used the Launchpad  
bugtracker. Anyway, this general Launchpad criticism probably doesn't  
belong here, I shall take it up with the makers.

One thing I noticed is that Launchpad created new user accounts for  
all old reporters that don't have a user account at the time of  
import. I also saw that you can merge created accounts (e.g.  
'philikon') with existing ones (philipp at weitershausen.de). That's  
going to be essential. One thing, however, I find quite annoying: It  
seems I'm not able to search for "my bugs" (or bugs assigned to any  
other specific person) easily anymore. I tried typing in 'philikon',  
'philikon at philikon.de' or 'philipp at weitershausen.de' for the asignee  
-- nothing. I use this feature a lot and I would suspect other people  
do so as well, it would suck to lose it.

What's the ETA on that? I think we should give the zope3-dev and  
zope3-users audience at least a week to get launchpad accounts.
