 > Could we use the same user autocomplete we used in the network admin?

 I think so - two things occur to me that are probably different, though.
 It needs the ID as the value, as opposed to user_login in the current
 instances or user_email as in the patch on #25348, and the UI needs to
 show something more friendly than the ID and should prevent freeform
 entry.

 Also, the patch on #25348 whitelists the field against an enumerated list
 (in_array) - should we keep expanding on that list, make it filterable,
 something else?
