Upload, sponsorship and acceptance/rejection emails

[Arif Ali]

Hi Team,

Some feedback on my experiences of doing package uploads as a sponsoree as
I don't have upload rights to any packages yet.

Currently when a package is sponsored and then uploaded to the unapproved
queue, only the sponsor gets an email, but the uploader/changer/sponsoree
is not notified. The sponsor doesn't have to update the LP bug that this
has been sponsored, although they should.

If a package is rejected (or other state other than being sponsored), the
sponsor gets an email but the person who originally submitted the package
doesn't. The SRU Team member either contacts the person on Matrix or
updates the LP bug, but on some occasions this doesn't also happen.

I suspect that the email that does go to people, there is a "Changed-by"
(similar to the one that Debian sees as well); maybe this can be used as a
field as well as a CC so that both the sponsor and the sponsoree gets any
updates.

I think this could help to speed up the process, if there are any changes
required by the uploader, this can therefore be actioned a lot quicker.

Thoughts/comments?
