Right. Colin, Cody, Devid, do you want to become more active in the
SRU team, or step down?

That's indeed a good point. Right now it seems that both Steve and I
read all bug mail (and you too, apparently). So far I have just mostly
ignored the chatter, and thus haven't found it a big enough time sink
to try and establish more formalisms around it. 

I usually start with reviewing the unapproved queues and use
queue-diff (which opens the bugs in the browser); if you don't have
enough time for reading the bug mail at some particular time or in
general, doing only queue review already covers 90% of the SRU job, I
think. 

Most effort with reading the bug mails consists of marking a bug for
sponsoring (subscribe ubuntu-sponsors) or marking it
verification-{done,failed}, both of which don't take any more time
than tagging it "needs-attention". There are only relatively few cases
where an actual technical discussion with the SRU team happens.
