'Successfully uploaded packages' but nothing appears

I 'successfully' uploaded my IPOPT package to my PPA, see below:

Package includes an .orig.tar.gz file although the debian revision suggests
that it might not be required. Multiple uploads of the .orig.tar.gz may be
rejected by the upload queue management software.

After waiting several minutes, nothing has shown up in my PPA and I have received no emails. This website should immediately show SOMETHING if the command-line tool has indicated success. Otherwise there is a credibility gap: if the dput reported no error, then the PPA has received something, and Launchpad needs to immediately indicate to the user that it's working on doing the next step.

I note that this is not a duplicate of
bug #139422 because the triager said that they "needed more information about how to fix"
but #191666 because it is reported "fixed".

The log says this:

 FatalUploadError: Signing key CD65978843FE14E7D2A71E38722EDBE8C8BF806D not registered in launchpad.

You don't seem to have an OpenPGP key associated with your account, so we can't authenticate the upload. We can't accept an upload which we can't authenticate, but we also can't notify you of its rejection, because we don't know which email address to use.

OK, but this is still a bug!!! There needs to be a communication channel whereby I get some more information back from Launchpad and/or dput.

[William Grant (wgrant)]

Indeed, although it's not entirely simple, since dput predates Launchpad by quite a long time. I've marked this bug as a duplicate of an older one describing this issue.
