As Erik says, you can include it in the URL.

Alternatively, install OpenSSH (if you haven't already), because bzr will use it
by default use that to establish the SFTP connection[1].  OpenSSH lets you
configure things like remote user name per host.  For instance, my ~/.ssh/config
contains lines like:

        Host bazaar.launchpad.net
                User = spiv
