I guess that id was created for you by some kind of import process,
possibly from the Python bug tracker(??), based on your email address.
If people create an account manually they choose their user id so
it's a bit more reasonable to expect them to know it. (But still not
totally reasonable, as Andrew notes.)
It would be better if bzr just worked this out from your email
address, assuming that the one you use with bzr is also one you've
registered with launchpad. We'd also need to check this doesn't run
into any problem with Launchpad email address privacy.
There is a bit of divergence here because eg you use your email
address to log in, but branch and page urls use your Launchpad ID.
