So you're saying too little and too much information?
It sure looks like it contains a full list of activity; now I admit
maybe it would be nice to change the icons to show if they're BC/BS members?
The activity log seems to show up to search engines, so that's about as good
search as you get.

You seem to be asking for something specific to your preferences.
If you want this functionality I suggest you file a bug against LP itself,
specifying what you want and let it get triaged by the LP guys; mention
the bug number and we can add comments if people agree etc.

(I think you'll find they tell you LP is in maintenance only) - of course
you could try submitting a patch.
