Bug Description
First off Martin, I love your program. This is an absolute requirement to bring more programmers over and the integration into GNOME is just astonding. I hope Canonical will give you some more resources to play with in the upcoming months and we see this program integrated into Ubuntu (or GNOME) in the near future.
My bug report is regarding your "Project Search" dialogue. It gives you the ability to search Launchpad.net and downloads the project names and descriptions. I know you're making this specifically for programmers who don't want to touch the command-line, but some, like me, may have the branch name memorized and may want to see it when we do a search.
For example, I know the branch I want to download is lp:apt-portal, but I know it's under the getdeb project, so I searched "getdeb". This results in 4 tuples as seen in the attached screenshot.
So in the attached screenshot I added the associated lp:<branch_name> to each tuple. This, for example, allows me know that none of those projects are the ones I want to download because none of them contain lp:apt-portal.

It's a good idea and although we can say for certain what the development target is going to be, we can't say for certain if it has one without incurring loading penalties.
So perhaps the best thing to do is to display the project id (lp:apt-portal) without assuming that it's a branch name (which it might be, or might not be)
