Launchpad does not automatically know about LP-managed <email address hidden> email addresses

Bug Description

Launchpad knew about several of my email addresses, but not the '<email address hidden>' that LP itself semi-automatically creates when somebody is marked as a X/K/Ubuntu Member.

Then first time I did an upload as this UID, a new account was created, rather than Launchpad already knowing that '<email address hidden>' should be associated with the account 'sladen'.

Ideally LP would know that the email addresses already belongs to that person as LP is arranging the forwarding to the principal LP email address.

Actually only members of the Ubuntu members team get this privilege.
