Small tip for weight painting:
As for regular mesh, you should try selecting the armature first, then the GP object, then go in weight paint mode and ctrl-select the bone you want to paint influence for. Blender will select the corresponding vertex group for you. Makes things already easier than reading names and searching for them in lists (blender's object picker utility is a sad joke unfortunately - it finds the armature quickly, but the bonesystem within you have to browse manually...)

* Works great with regular 3d objects. Unfortunately not with GP objects.

@grinsegold
* What version of Blender are you using? I'm literally trying to do it now (and as I mentioned I know the workflow - I use it all the time wile weight painting 3d meshes) and it simply doesn't work that way. I'm confused:I
