For example, I don't see any of the questions that are filed on Launchpad, or notifications of new blueprints.  I presume that these kind of things are going to openstack-core (and if they aren't, where are they going?)

You can receive bug notifications, merge proposals, questions, etc. by subscribing to them even if you aren't a member of a -core group. It's kind of a manual one-time process that you have to do in a number of different places. At the very least we should document the steps to get all the relevant notifications.

Possibly there's a way to set up a separate group that you can optionally join to get all notifications (it's a LOT)--I'm not familiar enough with Launchpad to know how that might work.
