What is as well different for the uploads is to which upload queue you
would upload in the end. ftp-master for the proposed-updates via point
release, security-master for the security uploads.

There are two good entry points about the uploads for stable:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#special-case-uploads-to-the-stable-and-oldstable-distributions
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#handling-security-related-bugs

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Salvatore
