My highschool teacher used to call this a 'shotgun answer': writing
down everything you can think of in the hope some of it hits. :) I
think one list is much cleaner and makes it easier to actually scan;
presumably the point of this is to give an overview of activity in the
project.

To me the most interesting default is 'most recently changed' but
that's just a personal feeling.

How about if we run a little script across Launchpad's access logs to
find out which sort mechanism is the most popular when no search terms
are specified. Then consider making that the default. At any rate it
would be interesting to see the results.
