Who does Launchpad notify when I upload a source package?

It depends. Launchpad sends out two emails in the most common case:
* a package being uploaded to the release pocket of a release which is open for development
* an upload which passes all of the required tests
* an upload which does not need intervention from the distribution managers.
Of those two emails:
* the first is sent to the distribution release's changes list
* and the second is sent to people associated with the changes file, who are:
* the signer of the changes file;
* the person listed in the Maintainer field;
* the person listed in the Changed-By field.
If a selected email address is associated to a Launchpad account that is a member of a team permitted to upload to the distribution (ubuntu-core-dev for Ubuntu, for example), it will receive a notification of the upload.
