Thanks for the work — this is a nice improvement. :-)

On this point, I can't be entirely sure (it was some time ago), but I
suppose I was thinking that it would be good to ensure that SRU team
members can use sru-release themselves, which requires upload privileges
due to the use of copyPackage via the API if I'm not mistaken (only
-updates would be needed here, not -proposed.  -proposed is probably not
so useful, except if we want to ensure that they can sponsor all SRUs
too).

If there's also another UNAPPROVED step there then just being able to
upload doesn't gain much: queue admin would also be required.

Cheers,
