No, yes and no.

It is sufficient to provide the source on request. As far as my
understanding of the License goes, the target audience that can make this
request is the recipient of the product, not any third party.

There is no obligation to feed your source-changes to the upstream
maintainer.

PS: Unlike the old-style BSD license, there is no obligation to include
the copyright information in advertisement - such as a website.
