FWIW, as one of the folks who uses launchpad ALOT for non-Ubuntu projects (Drizzle, OpenStack) - logging in to launchpad.net using login.ubuntu.com seems less than obvious... although I appreciate the intent and benefit. It's less personally bothering to me, since I also do Ubuntu things- but I imagine for some of my devs it might be a little extra weird. On the other hand, logging in to launchpad using OpenID and having that for everyone in Ubuntu be from login.ubuntu.com seems fine - especially if I could use my perfectly valid normal OpenID provider.
