Before implementation, solving the issue will need a check that there's no missing feature in the userPicker compared to this custom picker.

The only difference I see is that with the custom picker it's possible to enter non-existing users (it's free form text). However I don't think that's a problem (it's even a feature IMO).

On xwiki.org we use "XWiki Development Team" for ex, but we have created a user for that for ex so it's fine.

So I'd say it's fine and if not, we would need to have an option in the standard user picker to allow for this.
