You should take a look at GuiProc.java. There is a function there called 
isOwned
which does the filtering you described. There are a lot of data models 
using this function
to do filtering. So you can search of references to isOwned.

As for filtering at a lower level in the core. I think that a user 
should still be able
to see a process that they do not own. This way they know to switch user or
run as root to be able to debug that process. But if no one agrees then 
I am not
against filtering in the core.
