ubuntu is developed by many *many* people as its comprised of a huge number of applications, thus just showing your results to the core ubuntu team won't really help much.
the best thing you can do is publish your results in a free open format that other people can view and study, generally via some sort of website. you can then publise your results by talking to people on the ubuntu-desktop mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

you also may find this wiki page interesting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsabilityTesting

Can you help with this problem?
