Hi:

I am not an ubuntu-member yet... but reading from the NewMemberHowTo:
An @ubuntu.com e-mail alias that forwards to your real e-mail - the email-address will be set up manually within a few weeks and will be based on your main Launchpad ID: [MAILTO] <email address hidden>. All email arriving at said address will be forwarded to the primary email address listed for your profile in Launchpad. You can test if it is active by sending yourself some mail, from time to time.

so I guess it was done manually at the time they accepted you. but I think the system will recognice the change and make it for you if you change the primary email.
Congratulations on your new status!?!?!

You just need to add the gmail.com address to your account, and then set that as your preferred email address. The rest is automatic.

It took about 5 days after I changed the email address to get sent to my @gmail address and now everything works fine now.
